MANILA, Philippines — A scuba diver was accidentally pulled down around 300 feet below the sea surface by a giant tuna fish while conducting pleasure diving activity in the waters off Kiamba in Saranggani, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported on Monday.
Lt. Commander Armando Balilo, PCG Public Information Officer, said scuba diver Ramir Te, who was on a diving expedition, was 80 feet below the surface when he was pulled down by a giant tuna fish at the waters off Kiamba afternoon of Sunday.
The victim was immediately rescued by members of the Coast Guard Special Operations Group (CGSOG) rescue divers but due to the critical condition of Te, they sought the assistance of a Philippine Air Force (PAF) helicopter in Cagayan de Oro City to conduct a medical evacuation and brought the victim in a hyperbaric recompression chamber inside the PCG search and rescue vessel BRPSan Juan (SARV-001) which was on a deploy mission in Cebu City.
“Base sa investigation, nasagi ng malaking tuna yung portion harness rope ni Te kaya nabatak sya pababa. We sought the assistance of PAF because sila yung may pinaka malapit na chopper sa area at kailangan ipasok yung victim sa bariatic chamber dahil hinde sya nakapag recompress ng matino sa baba,” Balilo said.
"based on investigation, his portion harness rope (what the hell is this?) was caught by the big tuna and was dragged down. We sought the help of PAF for they were the nearest agency with chopper. The victim needed to be chambered due to not being able to do proper safety stops,"
PCG hyperbaric doctor Commander Eric Guieb is treating the victim inside the vessel.
