Diving accident at a depth of 50m - couple by heli in pressure chamber​

Passers-by found two injured divers lying on the side of the road. What exactly happened is still unclear.

In Steinbach am Attersee (Vöcklabruck district) there was a serious diving accident on Friday afternoon. A 48-year-old Viennese and a 26-year-old Romanian national from Lower Austria undertook a joint dive at the "Ofen" dive site. Exactly when is unclear.
At around 5:15 p.m., the two divers were found lying in the parking lot by uninvolved road users. Both were responsive, injured to an undetermined degree and, after receiving emergency medical care, were taken to the decompression chamber of the Graz University Hospital by two emergency helicopters.
 
Could have been worse. . . by how much isn't exactly clear. Yes, weird describes it.
