Hi All,

Anybody heard any details of a dive accident on the dive boat Midnight Express 
from Olympus Dive Center in Morehead City, North Carolina? I was out fishing 
Sunday about 90 miles south of there and heard the Coast Guard's half of the 
radio conversation where they were setting up a helicopter evacuation of the 
victim from the boat at sea.

It sounded bad at first but later it sounded like the boat made it back to the 
dock before the helicopter arrived and there was some question about whether it 
would be necessary to evac the victim. The Coast Guard called Duke University, 
where the hyperbaric facility is located, and said and evac was needed based on 
the symptoms.

Hopefully it wasn't as bad as first thought.



Best Regards,

Rick Fincher
