From what I’ve heard unofficially, this woman was finishing her Advanced Open Water course and during her second dive on the Yukon, something went wrong and she was unconscious on the surface. The life guards were called and able to wake her up. So, this story has a happy ending, the woman walked off the boat.
The woman was exploring the the former Canadian destroyer Yukon when she “had some difficulties and made a rapid ascent,” Lt. Nick Lerma said. “When she surfaced, she was unconscious.”
Her instructor and the crew of the charter diving boat Marissa pulled the woman from the water and rendered first aid, and called lifeguards around 11:20 a.m., Lerma said.
She was able to walk off the rescue boat when she returned to shore, the lieutenant said. She was taken to UCSD Medical Center.
