The body of a 22-year-old man visiting from Utah was recovered about 2.5 miles offshore in a tragic diving accident Friday.

“We are saddened to report that the search for the missing diver has ended with the worst possible outcome,” said Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

According to deputies, Max Robertson, 22, was free diving and spearfishing with a group of friends when they say he dove into the water with his spear gun, but never resurfaced.

His friends immediately called for help, deputies say.

“MCFR’s Dive Team did locate his body about 50 feet down. His spear gun had been deployed, and there were no obvious signs of trauma,” said Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

MCSO’s Criminal Investigations Division will be handling the incident.

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
