Dorset Incidents

A diver was air lifted from the boat Outrage near Lulworth Cove, on Saturday afternoon after he showed symptoms of decompression sickness.
The Portland Coastguard helicopter flew the casualty to Poole where an ambulance transported him to the Poole decompression chamber.
In a separate incident on Sunday a 65 year old man from London who was diving from the boat Smoothound off Swanage was taken to hospital, where he was declared dead.
Police said the post-mortem examination was being carried out by a pathologist who specialised in diving deaths but the incident is not being treated as suspicious.
