Diver dies from decompression

NÁUTICO

Muere buzo por descompresión

0 31 de julio de 2015  By Carlos Gasca

     A fisherman from Puerto Juarez, who is not affiliated with a cooperative, died this morning at the General Hospital with his death attributed to severe decompression. Hermilo Hernandez, 40, was admitted to the hospital Wednesday morning for decompression with severe symptoms that showed improvement following his first intervention in the hyperbaric chamber.
      It appears he came shortly after 6:30pm yesterday to be evaluated and was admitted to the hyperbaric chamber where he received his first treatment with another fisherman. He responded well to the first treatment and presented slight improvement, and discharged from the chamber and admitted to the hospital for observation. Yesterday he had complications and went into respiratory arrest at 4:40am. He was expected to have a second intervention in the capsule in the morning, but he was in grave condition and died.
    The other fisherman who was treated was Jose Ignacio Gonzalez Uicab, 36 of the Macax cooperative, who was also in serious condition. He had dived down 100 feet for 45 minutes and afterwards he experienced symptoms of dizziness, vomiting, and headache. He received his second treatment in the hyperbaric chamber yesterday morning, and will need at least five interventions to achieve full benefits.
     With these two cases there have been nine fishermen treated so far this lobster season (which began July 1), and this is the first fisherman this season to die from decompression.

Seeking a scrap dealer to take the balsero boat

Para que se hagan cargo de embarcación hechiza en la que arribaron balseros

Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 29 de julio.-
      The Harbor Master of Isla Mujeres, Ismael Gonzalez Gil, said he does not have personnel available to dismantle the small handmade boat made of wood and aluminum, which was abandoned yesterday morning along the east coast near the FOVISSTE apartments. The containers used for storing fuel and water have been removed, and it still contains the adapted car engine, broken backpacks, and leftover food such as crackers and juices, whose packaging indicates they were made in Cuba.  
     The Harbor Master said his staff are busy monitoring the vessels of Isla Mujeres and Puerto Juarez that are transporting visiting tourists, in order to assure their safety. He said the dismantling and removal of the craft needs to be done this week, to avoid contamination of the area, since it is likely to break up soon. They are hoping to find a scrap dealer who will remove it, with the materials being considered as payment.
