A woman was hospitalized this afternoon after suffering cardiac arrest while she was with a dive tour company in Kane'ohe Bay, a Honolulu Fire Department spokesman said.

Firefighters responded to the 12:34 p.m. incident off He'eia Pier. They found crew members of the woman's tour group giving her CPR. The woman is in her mid-30s.

After firefighters performed CPR for about 10 minutes, the woman was taken by an advanced life support team of paramedics to an undisclosed hospital.

Her condition was not available.
