Diving accident in Aurich: 74-year-old in mortal danger after drama in swimming lake!
A serious diving accident caused horror on Sunday, September 9, 2025, in the Tannenhausen bathing lake near Aurich. A 74-year-old woman's life is in danger after the incident. She and a 61-year-old companion were traveling with their own diving equipment. It is still unclear why the 74-year-old was unable to return to the surface of the water on her own. Her companion called for help and immediately mobilized support.
A 27-year-old first aider didn't hesitate for long and jumped into the water to rescue the woman from a depth of around three meters. On land, a 23-year-old first aider took over the resuscitation of the affected diver until the rescue workers arrived. They quickly took the 74-year-old to a hospital in a rescue helicopter, where her condition was classified as critical. The 61-year-old companion was also taken to hospital as a precaution. The police have not yet received any evidence of third-party influence, and investigations have been started to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident, reports [t-online.de](https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/panorama/ungluecke/id_100906038/aurich- Tauchunglueck-in-badesee-lebensfähr.html).
