    A 24-year-old diver died while exploring the waters off southeast Miami-Dade County, authorities said Sunday night.


    Police identified the diver as Antonio Gonzalez of West Kendall. He and two other divers went out to explore the Brewster Reef while free-diving, which uses snorkels and masks instead of an air tank, said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Sabrina Elgammal.


    About 2 p.m., all three surfaced in the area of the Fowey Rock Lighthouse, which is some seven miles southeast of Key Biscayne. The weather was getting rough, and the men decided to swim back to their boat, according to Miami-Dade police.


    Only two made it to the boat, authorities said, and called for help.


    The missing diver was found not far away about an hour later, police said. Rescuers tried to administer CPR, but the man could not be revived.


    Miami-Dade homicide detectives were investigating, which is typical in such cases. No charges were filed.
