MANILA, Philippines - A scuba diver was injured when a tuna dragged him 300 feet underwater in Kiamba, Sarangani, according to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

The diver, Ramir Te, was on a fishing expedition at around 5:45 p.m. last Saturday when a tuna pulled him underwater.

PCG spokesman Lieutenant Commander Arman Balilo said they were still figuring out how it happened.                              

Te was transported by a helicopter of the Philippine Air Force to Cagayan de Oro the following day and was given medical attention. He is bound for Cebu today on board a commercial ship.
