3 divers ‘pass out simultaneously’ in KoreaThree commercial divers in their 30s using surface-supplied air were recovered unconscious from harbour waters in Korea yesterday morning (20 July), but two of them died and the third was said to remain in critical condition. The divers had been working since shortly after 8am to clear barnacles from the hull of a container-ship anchored at Busan New Port in the city of Changwon. They were transferred to hospital soon afterwards, where two of the divers were pronounced dead. Shortly after reboarding a boat following a dive at around 1.30pm the man was reported to have collapsed in cardiac arrest. Divers from the Guardia Civil later went to investigate the dive-site.
