Diver hospitalised after suffering decompression sickness
A 27-year old woman from Hungary was admitted on Tuesday to the special decompression chamber at the Famagusta hospital after being diagnosed with the bends.
Reportedly the 27-year-old woman, who had dived to the Zenobia wreck off Larnaca in the morning, had ascended to the surface faster than she should have and was found unconscious.
She was first transferred to the Larnaca General Hospital and after being diagnosed, she was transferred to Famagusta hospital where the decompression chamber is located.
