The Sonoma County Coroner’s Office has identified a San Bruno man as the diver who died Saturday after becoming entangled in thick kelp along the Sonoma County coast.
Craig Alan Belluomini, 54, was apparently diving for abalone in Stillwater Cove when he became trapped in the kelp around noon, the sheriff’s department reported.
Witnesses said the man was seen struggling, and other divers pulled him to the shore to begin CPR, according to the sheriff’s department.
Emergency crews responded to take over life-saving measures, but Belluomini was declared dead at about 12:40 p.m.
The sheriff's office reported that Belluomini was likely underwater for up to 10 minutes before he was brought to shore.
