COAST GUARD REPORTS
Stricken Diver Airlifted From Vessel
An injured scuba diver had lo be
hoisted by helicopter from a boat off
Frying Pan Light and flown to Duke
Medical Center Saturday afternoon,
according to a report issued by BM
CS J.D. Amdt, chief of the U.S.
Coast Guard Station at Oak Island,
Tuesday.
At about 12:45, the station re
ceived a call from the vessel "Scuba
South" reporting that a diver was
complaining of troubled breathing
and numbness in his face, arms and
hands after ascending from a depth
of 95 feet.
The man was apparently suffering
from "the bends." a condition
caused by failing to adequately read
just to lower pressure after diving in
deep water for an extended period,
which allows dissolved gases to
form small, painful bubbles in the
victim's bloodstream.
Oak Island station immediately
dispatched its 41 -foot boat, while a
Coast Guard helicopter operating in
the area was diverted to assist.
Southport Rescue also was alerted to
stand by, Amdt said. '
The helicopter used a metal bas
ket to hoist the diver from the deck
of the "Scuba South." The patient
was taken to New Hanover Regional
Medical Center for examination be
fore being transported to Duke.
The university is equipped with a
decompression chamber in which a
victim of the bends can be returned
to high pressure environment and
slowly reacclimatcd.
On July 2 at approximately 5:30
p.m., the station received a call from
the Southport Police Department re
porting a boat on fire moored to the
American Fish Company dock. The
burning vessel was the commercial
long-liner "Bandit II," whose opera
tor reported that the fire started in its
battery compartment near Cape Fear
River Buoy 14 while en route to the
fish company dock.
The station's 41 -footer was dis
patched to assist the Southpon Fire
Department, which successfully ex
tinguished the blaze.
