Divers survive night in shark-infested waters
Absolutely terrifying!
A rescue helicopter spotted the man, aged 38, and woman, 40, drifting some eight miles northwest of Bait Reef, winched them aboard and flew them to a nearby resort island.
Police said the divers, who were not immediately named, survived because they had remained calm while floating in the ocean overnight, and were lucky to be alive.
“If I was them I’d be getting out the 30 million dollar lotto ticket tonight … they were very lucky people,” rescue helicopter spokesman Philip Dowler said.
