Diver in critical condition after suffering problem under water | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News
MUKILTEO, Wash. -- A 50-year-old diver is in critical condition after suffering an issue during a dive certification class Sunday morning.
Firefighters and medics were called to the Mukilteo dive park just before 10 a.m. after getting a report the 50-year-old woman was in distress.
The diver was in the middle of class when she notified instructors she was having problem and needed to surface. She was assisted to the beach where she was alert and talking, but later went unconscious and stopped breathing.
CPR was started just as medics were arriving and they rushed her to Providence Hospital in Everett. She was later transferred to Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle.
There is no word yet on what happened to cause her to go into distress.
