A community member has saved a diver from drowning in South Lake Union.
LAKE UNION — Wednesday, a community member on a paddleboard saved a diver from drowning in Lake Union when his equipment failed.
Officers said that after receiving reports of a drowning they arrived at the 800 block of Terry Avenue North in South Lake Union around seven in the afternoon. Before the police arrived the 32-year-old man was saved by a community member who pulled him onto their paddleboard and began CPR compressions. The Harbor Patrol and firefighters arrived shortly and continued the life-saving measures.
Bystanders told first responders that the man was practicing his diving when the equipment began to fail. The man removed his dive equipment but was left flailing in the water before being saved by the paddleboarder. The harbor patrol soon recovered the diver’s equipment the day after the rescue. Seattle Police say they want to give a big thank you to the community members who helped save the man’s life.
