A foreign man suffered a spinal injury while diving off Kemmunet and another suffered head injuries in separate accidents over the weekend.

The Emergency Response and Rescue Corps (ERRC) said its lifeguards took both casualties to Gozo General Hospital for urgent treatment.

Apart from the two major casualties, the ERRC said its lifeguards assisted a number of tired swimmers at the Blue Lagoon, Comino.

The Lifeguarding service at Blue Lagoon is being run on a daily basis thanks to the financial support from the Malta Tourism Authority.
