ORANGESTAD, Aruba — A young woman is in hospital in critical condition after she was run over by a dive boat. Authorities have not yet identified the victim but told CDNN she was a novice diver who was scuba diving with Mermaid Divers. Witnesses said the woman apparently had problems controlling her buoyancy and started to ascend from a depth of about six meters. Meanwhile, the dive boat was drifting towards shore due to problems with its anchoring equipment. An employee of Mermaid Divers turned on the boat's engine to move the vessel into deeper water and ran over the victim. A dive guide found her unconscious on the bottom without a diving mask, regulator out and air hose severed. He pulled her to the surface and started CPR. The woman regained consciousness and was transferred to an ambulance that rushed her to hospital where she remains in critical condition due to head injuries caused by the dive boat's propeller. The accident is under police investigation. |
