Dive boat rescued off the coast of Eyemouth

Both Eyemouth RNLI lifeboats and their volunteer crews were launched to rescue a dive boat off the coast of Eyemouth.

It broke down leaving the crew stranded with four divers still in the water around 10:45am yesterday, September 3.

Eyemouth all-weather and inshore lifeboats were quickly on scene, just to the north of St Abbs and the ILB took the rib in an alongside tow back to St Abbs.

The divers were helped by a local dive charter and helped taken ashore by St Abbs Lifeboat where they were met by Eyemouth Coastguard.

One of the divers was airlifted to hospital in Aberdeen to be treated for suspected bends.
