searescue19082009Pointe Blanche:-- Some eight divers were rescued by the Coast Guard on Wednesday reported Roderick Gouvernor of the Coast Guard. Gouvernor said the eight divers from the French side of the island were diving in the Pointe Blanche area. He said the divers left their boat unattended, which began drifting, as they were underwater.

Two of the eight divers decided to seek assistance by trying to swim ashore but somehow they called a number, which ended up being the coast guard who immediately sent help. Gouvernor said the coast guard rescued the first two divers who could not make it back to shore then they picked up the other six divers. They also used an helicopter and ship that was on St. Maarten to look for the missing boat, which was found and taken to Simpson Bay before it was released to its owners.
