Summary
On the opening day of Florida’s lobster mini-season, a heated dispute over a diving location near Fisher Island escalated when a man allegedly swam over and deliberately shut off a surface-supplied air system while an 18-year-old diver was underwater. The captain of the victim’s boat pulled the gasping, disoriented teenager to the surface after the air was cut. Miami Beach resident Michael Joseph Simpson now faces an attempted murder charge in a case that highlights how quickly territorial arguments on the water can turn life-threatening.
