A forty-five-year-old woman required medical assistance in Cartagena following a diving incident that left her unconscious. The emergency services received a call from her companion around eight thirty in the evening, reporting that they had been diving at Parreño beach. The situation escalated when the woman started vomiting and showed signs of distress.

Due to difficult access by land, firefighters from the Fire Extinction Service and Civil Protection travelled by sea to reach the woman. They managed to assist her and facilitated her transfer to a designated meeting point for emergency services. A Civil Protection vehicle and an ambulance from the Emergency and Urgent Health Management arrived promptly to aid the situation.

Upon stabilising the patient, she was transported to Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena for further treatment. The quick response from emergency services ensured that the woman received the necessary care in a critical moment following her distressing diving experience.

Authorities remind divers to take precautions and ensure safety measures are in place when engaging in water activities, particularly in unfamiliar environments.
