PHILLIPSBURG -- Deep-sea diver and instructor Stephen Hardick died Sunday during a scuba diving expedition off the coast of Rhode Island. Hardick and three other divers had been exploring a submarine near Block Island, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

"If this was his time, then this is how he would have wanted to go," his son Mike said. "He was doing something he loved."

Hardick was gathering footage of a German U-boat he planned to use for a public access television show as well as a diving convention.

Stephen Hardick had been diving about 120 feet below the surface Sunday and was unconscious when he surfaced, according to Bryan Davidson, U.S. Coast Guard petty officer. Davidson said Hardick's crewmates were performing CPR when help arrived about 1]
