a diver missing during Florida's "mini" lobster season has been found dead, bringing the total death toll for this year to five. See Full Story.
this year seems to have been particulalry deadly. most people believe the fatalities are due to divers getting back in the water after a long time without diving and thus being unprepared. "lobster fever" (the compulsion to squeeze into tight spaces and overstay bottom times in order to get a lobster) has also been blamed.
