A man was rescued at sea on Sunday after he was hit on the head by a boat's propellers when surfacing from a scuba dive, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.
Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said the man had been diving off a chartered diving boat.
"It appears that the diver was hit on the head by the boat's propellers while diving off-shore of Coopers Lighthouse while on a recreational dive charter.
"The dive crew recovered the diver from the water after the accident, and the diver is in a serious but stable condition," he said.
The NSRI had been recovering a 16-man life boat, which had broken away from a Singapore-based ship, when it came across the injured diver.

The ship was docked at the Durban Port.
