NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- Police in the Bahamas are investigating the drowning of a 32-year-old man from New York who was participating in a free diving tournament.
The incident happened around 2:00 pm Sunday off the coast of the Bahamas' Long Island, about 164 miles southeast of the capital of Nassau.
The man's body was brought to shore, where a local doctor pronounced him dead. His name was not released.
The nine-day International Free Diving Competition brings 56 free divers from 21 countries. They are competing for a $20,000 prize as they try to see who can dive the deepest without fins or scuba gear.
The contest takes place at Dean's Blue Hole, considered one of the world's deepest underwater sinkholes.
