Propeller fractured scuba diver's skull - 11 February
The fear or every shore diver - surfacing where there is boats around ...
A SCUBA diver is undergoing emergency surgery after being hit in the head by a boat propeller on the NSW Central Coast.
A 41-year-old man from Lilli Pilli, in Sydney's south, suffered a fractured skull when he surfaced from a scuba dive off Shelley Beach, near The Entrance, and hit the dive boat's propeller about 10am (AEDT) today.
The man was airlifted to Gosford Hospital for initial treatment, before the NRMA CareFlight helicopter transferred him to Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital for emergency neurosurgery.
