Google translation...
A 36-year-old man was taken to hospital after a rare decompression accident which occurred during a dive in Lake Annecy, this Sunday, December 10, 2023. A nitrogen bubble remained stuck in the spinal cord of this experienced practitioner. He follows daily sessions in a hyperbaric chamber to recover.

A 36-year-old diver suffered an extremely rare decompression accident this Sunday, December 10, 2023, while exploring the wreck of the France in the depths of Lake Annecy (Haute-Savoie). The first elements collected made it possible to rule out the hypothesis of a too rapid rise, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré . The man would therefore not have made any mistake. It would have even respected more levels than the usual recommendations.

A nitrogen bubble stuck in the spinal cord​

But medical examinations revealed that a nitrogen bubble had lodged in the spinal cord of this experienced diver, a member of the Annecy underwater club. It is this bubble which would have caused a spinal cord decompression accident (ADD), despite the precautions taken by the victim during his ascent.

The thirty-year-old, rescued by firefighters and a Smur team, was transported to the cantonal hospital of Geneva (Switzerland). He follows daily hyperbaric chamber sessions to recover, indicates the local newspaper.

Are there two divers hurt or is that a typo about a 30 year old?

I can only guess that it poor journalism. I wish I had skipped this story as without a better story told, such hits are not uncommon enough to note with such a poor tale.

You're in Canada, your French must be better than mine: does the original say "in his thirties" or "30 years old"? Because if you're going by google translation: the AI isn't actually intelligent, you know, and would not know the difference.

Article says he’s 36, then refers to him as a man in his thirties.

There's some more information in Le Dauphine:

Decompression sickness: a rare, unpredictable event, the diver made no mistake​

The accident occurred late Sunday morning in Lake Annecy, during a dive on the wreck of the France which lies 42 meters deep.

Lake Annecy is at an altitude of 447m/1467ft, which means decompressing to ~0.95 bar/ata. The altitude might have been a contributing factor.
The photo is from the article, and implies the use of a rebreather.
The temperature at the wreck is usually ~6C/43F.
DCS symptoms started 10mins after the dive, diver was put on O2, returned to port and evacuated by ambulance.
