    It seems all four surfaced too fast? I wonder how that happened. I hope all are okay.

    REF:Incident at the Quarry: Peter saw a mass of bubbles in the water and launched the Rescue boat. 2 divers surfaced and were assisted back to shore. One diver was showing symptons of DCS and our Emergency Plan was enacted. Both divers were put on Oxygen. The Coast Guard was notified, and a local paramedic called to assist. The casualty was airlifted to Cork University Hospital by Rescue 115, along with his buddy and 2 others from the group as a precaution. The casualty spent 5 hours in the Navy chamber and was responding well, as of 24.00 hrs last night. The other 3 were released from hospital yesterday evening. As usual, the Coast Guard, Navy Diving Section, and Cork University Hospital acted quickly and efficiently in response. Our thanks to all parties concerned and those who assisted at the Dive Centre.
