Carlos Duarte, 41, was pulled from the water by a recreational boater who spotted the man about 10:30 a.m. about 15 miles offshore, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Dana Morrison. "Surprisingly, he was in pretty good shape," Morrison said. "He was pretty sunburned and tired." Indian River County paramedics examined Duarte, but the diver refused any further medical treatment, Morrison said. Duarte could not be reached for comment Sunday evening. His saga started early Saturday afternoon when Duarte and two friends steered their boat through the Fort Pierce Inlet into the Atlantic Ocean for an afternoon of lobster diving, Morrison said. They headed north to the Vero Beach area, where they dropped anchor about 3:30 p.m. about seven miles offshore from the area of South Beach Park at East Causeway Boulevard, said Indian River County Fire Lt. Kevin Slade. "There was an extremely strong current, and he drifted away from the boat underwater," he said. When Duarte surfaced, he was several miles away from the boat and unable to swim back, Slade said. His two friends, who were not identified, couldn't contact the Coast Guard because the boat was not equipped with radio communications or flares, Morrison said. "They had no radio, no flares and the boat wouldn't start," he said. At dawn, the two men were able to get the attention of a passing boat, and the people on board contacted the Coast Guard, Morrison said. An air and ground search was launched and Duarte was located in the water about 10:30 a.m. by another boater who brought the diver to shore at the Sebastian Inlet, he said. Duarte had been battling strong currents and 3-foot waves, Morrison said. Duarte stayed afloat by pumping air from his tank into his vest, Morrison said. Two Indian River County Fire Department rescue divers earlier had entered the water in the area where Duarte was diving, and the department's marine cutter also participated in the search, Slade said.
