On Saturday, the Southwest Finland Rescue Department received an alert around three in the afternoon regarding a person needing to be rescued from water at Hilloistentie in Taivassalo. The location in question is Hilloisten quarry, a popular spot for divers. Diving in this private area is only permitted with permission. Two divers were present at the site, who had agreed to contact their relatives by three o’clock. For some reason, their emergence was slightly delayed, prompting a relative to call the emergency number as a safety measure.
