Quarry diver missing

Paula Blakemore, an IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix and Rebreather Instructor for New Frontier Diving in Manchester who was in her forties and from Congleton in Cheshire, was diving with a male friend on Sunday at Dorothea Quarry, near Caernarfon in Wales when she got into difficulties. The male diver stayed with the woman trying to free her until he was forced to swim to the surface. An ambulance was called to the scene and the 45-year-old man was treated before being airlifted by the RAF to the hyperbaric unit at Murrayfield on the Wirral.
Diving teams are expected to return to the site on Tuesday to resume the search for the woman who is thought to have been caught up in submerged ropes whilst diving in the quarry.
