Apparently the woman was one of several divers scuba diving off a commercial dive boat when she resurfaced with symptoms of decompression sickness. The skipper of the vessel called for help and the woman was taken to St. Richard's Hospital at about 5:10pm. Authorities said the scuba diving accident victim may be transferred to Queen Alexandra Hospital for medical treatment in a hyperbaric chamber.   A police helicopter took the injured scuba diver to hospital.
