Missing European divers found alive on Indonesian island


Five Europeans who went missing Thursday while scuba diving off eastern Indonesia were found alive on a remote island Saturday, police said. The divers — three from Britain, one from France and one from Sweden — were rescued following a search of the area where they were last seen plunging into the water from their wooden boat, according to a local police chief.

He said the five had drifted more than 12 hours before arriving at Rinca island, about 30 kilometres from the dive site.

The divers said on Friday, they scared away a Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard, by pelting it with rocks...[CBCNews]
