EMS said it received a 911 call just before 9:30 a.m. this morning for a 34-year-old man who apparently suffered a case of the bends while taking part in a commercial tour with a local boat company.

The man was located and taken to a nearby emergency room, EMS said.

On Saturday, EMS treated a 50-year-old woman in critical condition after she became unresponsive while diving from a tour boat just before 8:30 a.m.
