Portland coastguard helicopter airlifted a diver who had decompression sickness off the Jurassic Coast.

Yesterday evening the helicopter was scrambled to Swanage Bay after coastguards received an emergency call from the dive boat Skua about the diver.

Poole Coastguard Rescue Officers cleared the landing site at Whitecliffe Poole for the arrival of the casualty who was then transported to a recompression chamber by ambulance.
