I read two different versions of the story and still have no idea what happened other than she was incapacitated from breathing problems while on the dive. What does this sound like? Pulmonary edema

Alarm this morning in the stretch of sea in front of the Capo Noli hotel for a diver in difficulty.

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.

Update 15.01 She responded well to clinical treatment in the hyperbaric chamber and after being transferred to resuscitation, intubated and still in a reserved prognosis, she has now been transferred to the ward for the normal clinical course. The conditions of the 57-year-old woman rescued yesterday in Noli after a dive have improved.

After the first worries on the part of the medical staff, the announcement from the San Martino hospital in Genoa just now, where she is still hospitalized.

According to reports, medical examinations have ruled out further complications and the woman will be discharged by the weekend.

- The 57-year-old woman rescued yesterday in Noli after a dive is hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the San Martino hospital in Genoa. His condition is considered very serious and the prognosis remains confidential.

The woman accused serious respiratory problems: she was brought ashore by the other divers who were with her, before the intervention of the health workers and the emergency transport to the Genoese hospital with the Grifo helicopter.

Transferred to the hyperbaric chamber for the treatment and therapy of the case, she is now in intensive care, under close medical observation awaiting an evolution of the clinical picture.

The episode occurred in the stretch of sea in front of the Capo Noli hotel, perhaps due to a defect in the equipment or a sudden illness or something else: the causes are still being investigated.

The other divers who were with her during the dive immediately noticed the problem, dragging her to the shore waiting for the rescuers who were promptly alerted.

The woman, originally from Puglia, is a resident of Brescia: she was in Noli in the company of other divers for one of the usual dives that take place in this period, particularly in the Noli and Finale stretch of sea.
