@nbcsouthflorida: An incredible recovery! The family of a young man hit by a propeller in the waters of the Lower Keys while diving for lobster with his father said on Friday that his recovery from "catastrophic" injuries is nothing short of miraculous. The victim, identified as 20-year-old Sean Bender, was lobstering near the Boca Chica Bridge with Steven Bender, when he was hit by a 19-foot 1988 Stratos, according to an incident report by Monroe County Sheriff's Office Sgt. J Moeller. Bender suffered lacerations to his head, neck, right arm and shoulder, an incident report details. He was breathing and “barely responsive.” #boat #crash #diver

Also goes to show the importance of a diver down flag/buoy when lobstering. Take the time to be safe. He is so so lucky.
