She is now recovering in hospital on the Caribbean island of Cozumel, as Chase, 37, frantically tries to raise more than \u00a360,000 to cover medical bills and fly Amor back to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The incident happened two weeks ago after Amor had flown out to Cozumel to link up with her stuntman husband of five years who had been away working on a US film set. After holidaying in Cozumel, the couple planned a further two weeks touring Florida before heading home to Basingstoke to see in the New Year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/12\/31\/21\/66083639-11588801-image-a-1_1672521763334.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Amor Armitage, pictured in hospital in Mexico with her husband Chase, right, following her brush with death<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/12\/31\/21\/66083641-11588801-image-a-2_1672521824672.jpg\" height=\"793\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT In a gripping account of the incident, posted on her yoga website, Amor said the diving and snorkelling trip on December 17 to see stingrays, reef sharks and a giant sea turtle had been \u2018truly magical\u2019.

But the dream trip quickly turned into a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>She wrote: \u2018I felt a bit cold and decided to head to the boat to warm up. I swam to the boat\u2019s ladder, there was music playing in the boat and the captain was not looking in my direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When I hold on to the ladder, I take out one fin, the captain doesn\u2019t see me, I suddenly realise the boat has started moving and I\u2019m unable to say anything, words just didn\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everything seems to slow down as I feel the boat\u2019s propeller hitting my abdomen, genitals and legs, my body feels heavy and I see the boat moving away from me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Out of my gut comes a visceral scream, asking for help, the captain sees me but I know I have to swim towards the boat, so with cuts all over my body I managed to swim to the ladder once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He tells me I have to go up the ladder, I looked down and see my insides out, I feel there\u2019s no chance I can pull myself up alone.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/12\/31\/21\/66083635-11588801-image-a-3_1672521903578.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Amor said she feared she would die in that moment but the loving words from her husband kept her going<\/p>\n<p>Amor said: \u2018God must have been holding me\u2019 as she managed to haul her broken body on to the deck.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u2018My body feels mutilated and I feel a pain that is out of this world\u2026 Once I manage to pull myself up, the captain helps place my body on the floor and I start trembling, he calls the scuba team and Chase arrives.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Amor said she feared she would die in that moment but the loving words from her husband kept her going. She added: \u2018He did his best to keep me with him and I truly feel that if it wasn\u2019t for my angel Chase, I would not be here today.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Speaking from the hospital last night, Chase said he had been scuba diving eight metres underwater and resurfaced to hear his wife\u2019s blood-curdling screams.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018She was lying on the deck with her abdomen cut open. These were incredible wounds and I had no idea how she could survive them,\u2019 he told The Mail on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018I just ditched the heavy scuba kit and held her tight as best I could. You hear people talk about soul mates, and Amor and I, we are those soul mates. We\u2019re quite spiritual people, we feel closely connected.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I told her I wouldn\u2019t let her go, that we had so much strength together, that the world needed her and it wasn\u2019t time for her to leave. And that she had shown she was a miracle by staying alive.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But it wasn\u2019t even about the words. The love we have is powerful enough. She also has a positive mindset and, despite the situation she faced, that helped her greatly.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/12\/31\/21\/66083643-11588801-image-a-4_1672522093749.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>After being rushed ashore to an ambulance, Amor was taken to the intensive care unit at Cozumel International Hospital<\/p>\n<p>After being rushed ashore to an ambulance, Amor was taken to the intensive care unit at Cozumel International Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>There followed a four-hour operation to reconstruct and attach Amor\u2019s bones and tendons. She also underwent surgery on her inner thigh which had been \u2018completely scrambled\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>There was relief when it emerged the propeller had not sliced through any organs.<\/p>\n<p>Amor said: \u2018It seems that during the accident, I got a blood clot in my femoral artery which prevented me from losing too much blood both during transport to the hospital, and during surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Without it, I would have lost a lot of blood.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>She went through a second operation to remove the blood clot and bypass the severed artery using a vein taken from her other leg.<\/p>\n<p>Amor has also been having daily treatment in a hyperbaric chamber, which increases oxygen levels in her blood to help speed the healing process. Although she remains on painkilling drugs, and can\u2019t properly move her left leg, some feeling has come back to Amor\u2019s toes and there are hopes that she can make a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Officials will carry out an internal investigation into the incident, according to a source at Cozumel\u2019s Port Captaincy.<\/p>\n<p>Now Chase has put his prized Porsche Spyder 981 sports car up for sale and is trying to raise further funds from online donations. The couple have said the hospital bills now exceed \u00a360,000.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/12\/31\/21\/66083637-11588801-image-a-5_1672522113983.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT There followed a four-hour operation to reconstruct and attach Amor\u2019s bones and tendons.
