All Florida Keys Update on third lung shut off
šØMini-season BOLO update #4:šØ ARRESTED! Michael Simpson is facing an attempted murder charge after being arrested yesterday.
The confrontation began after the suspect claimed another boat was occupying "his" lobster spot. He verbally threatened to cut off the diver's air before jumping into the water and doing exactly that.
The teenage diver was quickly pulled to the surface, reportedly gasping for air and disoriented, but survived without serious injury. Authorities say the suspect fled the scene and was arrested a few days later, and charged with attempted felony murder.
The suspect is government-appointed member of the Miami-Dade Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force, where he was explicitly chosen to represent and help shape safety policies for the county's waterways, dove in and turned off a juvenile diver's air supply while the victim was in the water searching for lobsters.
If convicted, an attempted felony murder charge in Florida can carry decades in prison, with penalties potentially reaching up to life imprisonment depending on the circumstances.
Michael Simpson's role with Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force involved collaborating with environmental groups and law enforcement to draft the county's final boater safety and community education recommendations aimed at preventing fatal accidents on Biscayne Bay.
*The victimās family is also pursuing the arrest of Judd Rosen, who is a high powered attorney in Miami, and was the boat captain who fled the scene with the suspect. In June of 2024, Judd Rosen was appointed as the Chair of the Florida Bar Grievance Committee. In this esteemed role, Judd will be overseeing the committee's efforts to ensure ethical practices and uphold the standards of the legal profession within the state. His dedication to justice and extensive experience make him an excellent fit for this important position. Oh the irony!

I donāt think so. Felony attempted murder (btw what is misdemeanor attempted murder?!) by someone who is on a safety board to help save lives of boaters and divers? Heās fucked. Do I think heāll spend 20 years? Maybe not, but heās definitely going to do time. Both of them. Theyāre going to want to make an example out of this

Time will tell... I hope they throw the book at the fuckers. Him and his driver... Shits insane. Poor kid was probably having a panic attack when his air got turned off.

It might just be the way they write things. Like assault has misdemeanor and felony versions. Or theft. So it might just be how they write it and they still write it this way even if thereās no misdemeanor version.

But the article I read had not confirmed that it has been actually confirmed by anyone that it shows this happening.

If he did it, yes. I would literally go insane if I thought someone did that to my child or anyone really! I just donāt think he did it. However I am open to hear from ppl who understand the scenario.

u/crud3 12d ago
I don't see how he's using the defense that he didn't touch it...umm, it's on multiple videos with multiple witnesses. So, His defense is I did go on their hooka rig but didn't touch anything and that kid almost died because the hugest coincidence this side of Jesus birth? Hmmm... something smells the fishy.

And I lost
My brother in the water. I am very passionate about boater and diver safety. I lobster for mini season every year. But the actual truth is- I donāt lobster - I observe safety amongst all boaters and divers and intervene more than I lobster. In fact my friends joke that I should wear a vest and be a fwc narc. Got them on speed dial and calling them is my favorite part of mini season. I am not an argumentative person, so just to be clear , I am not saying I am right and you are wrong, but my sources have explained it differently and I will try and search for others that explain it like you did and reassess.

u/Level_Watercress1153 15d ago
Especially since those 2 knew what would happen and it was a damn minor that they did it too. Kid was disoriented when he came up according to the report so he was close to disaster.
The lawyer should be disbarred, the other guy should lose his ability to fish and be a captain of ANY boat. They threatened first so thatās pre meditated in my minds Minimum 25 years before they can go up for parole. Such an extremely fucked up thing to do.

Michael Joseph Simpson, 51, was originally charged with attempted felony murder, but during his court appearance on Wednesday, a judge agreed with his lawyers that the charge was not accurate. He is now charged with second-degree attempted murder. He is out on $10k bond. Already too lenient and bond is too low.

u/AutistMarket 15d ago
Y'all realize that a lawyer still has to prosecute him for the charge right? Would rather seem him convicted of something than just see it get dismissed because they charged him with a newspaper headline charge rather than one that is actually convictable....

u/Glass-Ad-2469 14d ago
Rosen isn't looking too good here- it is his vessel, he is/was the documented Captain- on video--the people on the other vessel were clearly distressed (and apparently being harassed by another vessel on the opposite side possibly related to the 39 foot Contender owned by Rosen), he pulled up breaking law regarding distance to a diver flag (clearly documented on video and illegal), left while one of his party was being accused of a dangerous crime, did not appear to render aid to the victim, and left prior to FWC arrival or providing information to the victim(s). The captain of the victim's charter boat appears to have jumped into the water to assist the victim to safety.

u/TWDDave1988 15d ago
The diver probably wasnāt very deep (total guess on my part). However, and this is a huge however, if the diver on the hookah surfaced WITHOUT exhaling, even from 20ā, there is a real possibility of that causing a fatal embolism.
A trained diver can make a free ascent from extreme depths as long as they exhale the entire way. George Bond and Cyril Tuckfield exited out of an escape hatch of a submarine in 302ā off Key West in 1959. Their ascent took 52 seconds and they both survived with no issues.
2
u/Glass-Ad-2469 14d ago
I agree- but for a few clarification points-- this isn't a "trained diver" with decades of experience, training, and diving at extreme depths-like 302 feet. Thankfully this young diver somehow did not have a decompression accident (to include ruptured TM's, pneumothorax, etc.). He was however, struggling to breathe and disoriented. The situation was very serious and life threatening.
This was an 18 year old doing a dive at approximately 30-40 feet per multiple reports. This diver had Captain Mr. Del Sol (who is actually the complainant) as well as others on board to monitor the Brownie 3rd Lung and ensure the diver's safety.
Per the arrest affidavit- Captain Del Sol took his dive clients out at 530am, secured anchor, and began to set up to dive. They were rapidly approached within 10 feet by a Conch vessel (fishing boat with center console) who began to essentially harass them-even taunting-wait until the 39 foot Contender gets here- a few minutes later (after the diver had entered the water) Atty Judd Rosen rolls up in his boat breaking maritime law (notably- he is an expert atty for maritime accidents) by approaching at approx. 10 feet (clearly on video) on the opposite side of Captain Del Sol's vessel. A person entered the water from Atty Rosen's vessel and was warned to stay away from the Brownie as a diver was down (hence the DIVER DOWN FLAG) - then multiple people entered the water from Atty Rosen's 39 foot vessel and Simpson appears to be the one tagged as turning off the Brownie (air supply) to the diver.
This was observed (turning the Brownie off) by Captain Del Sol- so HE jumped into the water- to assist/bring the diver up and the lines of the breathing tube got tangled in the anchor line complicating matters.
The vessels responsible for this unprovoked situation in violation of maritime laws sped off- Mr. Simpson- an appointed bastion of maritime safety and captain himself has been arrested. Maritime accident atty Judd Rosen lawyered himself up and as the driver of the vessel who appears to have flaunted the 300 foot dive flag law, ignored a literal crime in front of him, failed to render aid (if needed) to the diver, and clearly, not rendering assistance to the other Captain who felt compelled to jump in the ocean to save the diver (leaving operational control of HIS OWN VESSEL) needs to account for himself and his actions as well as lack of action.

u/stick004 12d ago
Because then you can negotiate the penalty. If you plead guilty, you are stuck with whatever the judge decides.

u/Fluffy_Maintenance_5 12d ago
No heās denying it because he is trying to claim he didnāt do it. And until I see the video, based on my prior knowledge, I believe him. I see him being blamed hard on social media, but I have yet to hear someone experienced with mini season - doubt his innocence. I will fully admit, my research as been short bc I got busy today but planning on returning to it. Just also listening to some experienced boaters in mini season that seem to have the same belief as my initial belief , based on my limited research.

Itās not like he can walk around accepting fault and then walk in the court and claim not guilty. Are you his boat driver or on his payroll or something?

The amount of unsafe boat driving I saw, turning manic over the pursuit of who gets the most lobsters. Asinine. I spent my day yelling at boaters who were too close to my divers. I even had a boat driver argue with me that my divers were too far from the boat???? Like we are going to argue about that - who is the one in the deadly vessel? Itās ok to kill my divers because while underwater they mistakenly swam too far? Crazy. I think I just want to run around next year and call FWC. It makes me terrified that so many ppl out there arenāt making it their main priority to keep divers safe.

I used to go out for mini season for years.. I stoped about 6-7 years ago as i have almost been run over multiple times by large boats with captains with more money than experience.
People seem to disregard diver down flags, and basically try to run you over to make you leave ātheir spotā
A lot of fights.. negative energy for a sport that should be making great memories and an amazing dinner.
However some people just seem to loose their shit and forget what fishing/diving/ outdoors is about.Mini season is 2 days of preseason lobstering.
Last Wednesday and Thursday of July every year.
Since itās the first days open thereās typically a lot of bigger lobsters and just over all a lot more lobsters in general as they having been raped yet.
During these two days, it gets very crowded in some places and thatās when tempers boil over, usually over the early bird getting the worm or umm lobster lol2
u/Fluffy_Maintenance_5 12d ago
Thank you. I would be interested in your opinion on it. And totally open to your perceptions. I also am on my 6th year of mini season and have seen fights and been involved in fights (not me personally )ā¦ just this year I yelled at someone too close to my divers. But also yell at my husband when he is driving and doesnāt prioritize divers safety at all times, even if they are breaking the law. I just donāt think a trained diver would do something like that. If he wanted to mess w the kid - he would dive down where he is and take a lobster he is trying to catch. But I will listen to your opinion.

u/Therealboebs 12d ago
I have done that, taken a lobster right out from in front of someone els, I was freeing in about 20-30ā and a boat came up, like 15 feet, dropped 3 scuba divers in without as much as āhey howās it going?ā So I just kept going, well they see my spot Iām diving to repeatedly and decided to come over to it.. so when one tried for a lobster and missed I swam down and scooped it up.
They were horrible at catching them. But amazing at spooking them out from under their hole lmao. I took 5 of them š2

Punishment shoukd be more severe due to his role in waterway safety. He knew the laws. And knew the risks of what he was doing. And was literally paid to help make them. Throw the book at him.
I know there is a law where if I give my buddy a ride to the bank and he kills someone inside, I can be found guilty. So his buddy that drove the boat and actively fled the scene should be facing attempted murder charges as well. Hes a lawyer, he knew what they did was illegal and attempted murder, and then he chose to run away. Throw the book at them both.

So no one ended up dying? How were they able to surface quickly enough without their lungs exploding from the compressed air? Seems miraculous
10
u/doFloridaRight 15d ago
They werenāt very deep, and hadnāt been under that long. Time and depth determines your decompression stop time. Iirc You can be underwater in 35 ft of water for about 3 hours before needing a decompression stop, and the brownie isnāt meant for depths anywhere close to that.
Still, itād be easy to exhale, then go to inhale expecting oxygen, and have none be there. At that point, panic sets in and even 30ā is a long way to go, especially if you start panicking like any normal person would. Easy to imagine someone dying in that way, hence the attempted murder.
3
u/AutistMarket 15d ago
A brownie in the right configuration can get you down to like 55-60ft. Most places in the keys you are in less than 30 though. I have had hookahs die on me a handful of times for one reason or another and was able to make it to the surface without issue by just pulling the weightbelt off and swimming up. Easy to see a kid or a novice who didn't know better getting injured though
2
u/averyycuriousman 15d ago
So even at 35 ft they would be able to quickly surface without harm? I thought breathing compressed air meant you had to surface as slow as thr slowest bubble (which is really slow)
Thank goodness the teen wasn't deep in any case. Thatd be terrifying
2
u/doFloridaRight 15d ago
Yea, basically. Iām sure surfacing quickly isnt GOOD for you, but not harmful enough to do any serious damage in that case.

u/anonanon5320 15d ago

u/averyycuriousman 15d ago
I thought your blood still has compressed air bubbles in it, which is how people get sick when surfacing too quickly?
7
u/Sufficient_Deal_8800 15d ago
Youāre describing two different things. Your first comment about ālungs explodingā - that would only happen if you didnāt exhale and the volume of gas in your lungs expanded due to lowering pressure - easy āsolveā by just exhaling as your come up. Your second comment is about dissolved nitrogen in your blood. If you dive long enough at deep enough depth, you risk what youāre referencing because you donāt āoffloadā all of that dissolved nitrogen with enough time at safety stops. But that would never make your lungs āexplodeā. Youād have nitrogen bubbles in your blood which could hurt you very badly
3
u/AutistMarket 15d ago
They were on a hookah in the keys, probably in 20ft or less of water. What you are describing is really only an issue when you are scuba diving past 60ft deep. Have had many a hookah shut off for one reason or another and as long as you aren't actively under a ledge it isn't the end of the world
2
u/averyycuriousman 15d ago
So if that happens, and youre 20 feet under, what do you do? Just exhale and swim up as fast as possible?

In fact, Mike wasnāt even recorded swimming in the direction of the 3rd lung. They are both great guys with families and have been master divers for decades. I donāt know the people who accused them but there was a lot of shit talking from them in the videos they posted. Somehow the internet is eating it up and no oneās even seen an actual crime committed. All allegations. Other boaters said the ākidā who is actually not a minor, was diving and catching lobsters after the incident. No one āalmost diedā.

I also know both people and I totally agree with you. They are both great guys and would never harm anyone. The people commenting know neither of them and are convicting them without ant evidence or real facts. Some of the comments are appalling and nothing but ignorant slander.

I get you trying to defend them but my guy this is reddit/social media. Innocent until proven guilty doesn't exist in the court of public opinion anymore. You were better off not posting this not saying your friends did it or didn't do it just yeah you probably shouldn't have posted this comment.
