A U. S. Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued two men from a dive boat about 30 miles east of Virginia Beach on Saturday afternoon, according to a press release.
The crew medically evacuated the men, ages 65 and 19, after they surfaced from a dive.
The 65-year-old was taken to Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk. He was listed in critical condition.
The 19-year-old was later taken to the hospital.
Coast Guard officials say this was the third diving incident in about three hours in their fifth district.
Wondering if anyone has any information on these incidents?
Sounds like a bad day for divers.
