Missing Divers?

[Captn C]

I heard a "pan pan" by the USCG about two divers being missing on Saturday.

Anyone got the scoop?

A guy I work with said something about it be reported on the radio that a diver was found. But I haven't heard anything about it anywhere.

Glad to see everyone made it back safely. We dove the Baker Rig on Saturday and I can tell you for a fact that the current was ripping on the surface. My guess is that the divers surfaced behind the boat and were unable to swim back to the boat or signal loud enough for anyone in the boat to hear them. Scary stuff.

[lordbater]

yeah.

I see all my 'new' information was already posted in the Bluewater board, sorry for the repeat.

Sound like two people will be buying "Dive Alert"s.

one of the divers arriving back at the bridge bait launch via the boat that plucked him from the water was seen jumping out of said boat in the ditch, fully suited and swam right up to the boat launch and proceded to walk right out of the water and into the parking lot as if nothing out or the ordinary was going on.
Maybe he was just glad to be on land or was on a mission to kick the living s--- out of whoever left him behind? I can only guess how horrified and yet relieved at being picked up this person was.
Kind of looked like a James Bond movie scene at the boat launch. Jeeeez!
