Five divers who went missing diving in the waters around Komodo were found on Saturday after spending 2 nights on a deserted part of Rinca island in Indonesia. They were all OK, albeit dehydrated. The group consisted of 3 Brits, a Frenchman and a Swede. They were diving From ReefSeekers’ boat at Tatawa Island on Thursday, but spent 9 hours adrift in which time they were swept 20 miles away.
I’m hoping to go to Komodo in September, which is an area notorious for strong currents, which is something we will need to be aware of. I was last there in 2002 and had some excellent dives.
Anyway that’s obviously great news, and now I suppose we can look forward to a mass of rumours on the forums to say that they must have planned it!
