V92.3: Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft : other powered watercraft

Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft involving other powered watercraft is a specific medical condition where a person experiences severe difficulty in breathing as a result of being underwater or submerged, during watersport-related activities such as jet skiing or motor boating. This usually happens without any accident or mishap to the watercraft itself. This situation can quickly become life-threatening if not promptly attended to, as it can lead to a lack of oxygen in the body which may then disrupt the functioning of vital organs. Common signs to look out for include difficulty in breathing, coughing, chest pain, fatigue, altered mental state, and even unconsciousness.
