The distress signal arrived around 12.00.

On the spot, in addition to medical personnel, the arrival of the Grifo helicopter, which landed on the beach to allow rapid transport to the hospital.

To be rescued was a woman, who accused respiratory problems, perhaps caused by a defect in the equipment or by a sudden illness or more: the exact causes are still being ascertained.

The other divers who were with her during a dive noticed the problem, then dragged her to shore to wait for rescuers.

The woman, after the first medical treatments, was then taken to the hyperbaric chamber of the San Martino hospital in Genoa, in red code.

His condition is reportedly deemed serious.
