Taiwan Taiwanese divers found alive |
|
Eight Taiwanese scuba divers have been rescued nearly 48 hours after going missing. In an amazing feat of endurance, one of them managed to swim ashore and told rescuers where they could find the others. Five were lifted from the sea by helicopters at dawn Monday and the last two missing divers were found later.
After failing to be rescued, the group's instructor Ding Bo-ling set off on a more than 10-hour swim for shore, finally reaching land before midnight Sunday at Taimali, 76 kilometres (47 miles) further north. The remaining divers held hands to avoid being separated. |
