A 61-year-old British diver died on Tuesday after being found unconscious in the area of the Zenobia shipwreck in Larnaca Bay.
The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Larnaca was alerted at 10.10am to an unconscious diver at the wreck site. It activated the special national plan ‘Nearchos’, sending a Port and Marine Police speedboat and a State Health Services Organisation (SHSO) ambulance.
The man was picked up unconscious by the police boat and handed over to the ambulance crew, who took him to Larnaca General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
