Seems as though there was a diver(s) on the surface that was hit by a tour boat and is in the hospital with serious injuries. Seems to be contrary details being reported on a Facebook group I belong to. La Paz Ex Pats FB group, usually solid information. I will dig further.

And the obligatory does not say anything newspaper article. Some people said there were no DSMB's deployed, which is not a surprise because every MX DM I have encountered tells you it is not needed.

Embarcación turística que atropelló a 2 buzos en Balandra se deslindó; una no volverá a caminar - BCS Noticias


La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS). On social networks, the clamor for justice circulates from friends and relatives of 2 divers who were carrying out activities in Balandra on April 25, when a tourist boat ran over them; the company distanced itself from the facts, while one of the victims lost her leg.


According to the shared story, the 2 women were returning to their boat after practicing diving activities on the renowned beach of La Paz, when they noticed that a ship was approaching at full speed directly towards them; Despite the fact that they did everything possible to make them stop and even other nearby boats tried to get the captain's attention, he did not stop his march until he passed over them; later he fled the place.


Fortunately, another catamaran approached to help the victims, who were in a critical condition. According to the report, one of them has bruises, sprains and blows , in addition to showing a picture of terror and panic towards the ocean.

The other, due to the strong impact of the propeller on one of her legs, will not be able to walk again, as her limb is severed; In addition to this, she has various blows and psychological traumas.


As for the company —owner of the boat that caused this terrible accident—, it completely disclaimed all medical expenses, according to the victims, revealing that a legal representative went to the hospital where they were treated, just to blame them for the events .

Given this, they ask for justice for what happened and that the culprits assume their responsibility for the facts; on the other hand, blood donations are being requested and an event is even organized to raise funds for Alexandra “N” surgeries.
