DURBAN, South Africa (28 Oct 2007) — A scuba diver is in stable condition after he was hit in the head by a propeller of the commercial dive charter boat that he was diving from.

According to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), the diver was ascending at the end of his dive when the dive boat ran over him.

"It appears that the diver was hit on the head by the boat's propellers while diving off-shore of Coopers Lighthouse while on a recreational dive charter," NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon told reporters.

"The dive crew recovered the diver from the water after the accident and the diver is in a serious but stable condition," he added.
