KING5.com is reporting that a diver ran into trouble Sunday morning while diving at Des Moines’ Redondo Beach.
According to the report, the diver, a 50-year old Spokane woman, is in critical condition after her mask started filling with water when she was 50-feet below the surface. She apparently couldn’t get the air regulator in her mouth, and she then made a quick ascent up with her instructor, who also happens to be her boyfriend.
When she was rescued from the water she was breathing but not conscious. An aid crew could not detect a pulse and began CPR, and she was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
