SAN DIEGO, California (22 Jan 2006) -- A 25-year-old woman was rushed to hospital after ascending too quickly.

The woman panicked at a depth of 28.6 meters (94 feet) after becoming disoriented and made a rapid ascent to the surface.

San Diego lifeguards who responded to the scuba diving accident said the woman was not fully aware of her surroundings when they rescued her.

San Diego lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma said the woman was taken to UCSD Medical Center for treatment.

 

The Yukon is a Canadian destoyer that was scuttled off the coast of San Diego as a scuba diving attraction.
