Diver treated for bends.

 

A 19-year-old diver was flown to hospital after surfacing too quickly on a dive off the coast of north Devon.

The man had been diving off Lundy Island on 25 August when he began to suffer symptoms of decompression sickness.

He was conscious when picked up by the coastguard helicopter and was taken to the hyperbaric chamber at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
