Florida scuba divers dying for ‘bugs’

by billrini on August 7, 2006

The Monroe Sheriff’s Office on Friday identified the woman who died while diving for lobster during this week’s mini-season as Judith Silcox, 47, of Cedar Creek Road in Palatka. Her boyfriend Ronald Maloy , 53, also of the same address, is still missing.

The couple had been staying at the Sunshine Key Campground on Ohio Key. A motor home, a pickup truck and a boat trailer registered to them were found at the campground, Becky Herrin, MSO spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. Their boat, a 22-foot center console Proline, was found anchored with a dive flag posted just off shore between Big Pine Key and Little Palm Island.
