Rescued Scuba Divers Recount Ordeal of Floating Lost Overnight in Shark-Infested Waters

These stranded scuba divers, bobbing in shark-infested waters, had seen "Open Water." The movie recounted the tragic story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who were left behind by a dive boat in 1988 and were never seen again.

A British diver thought he and his American girlfriend would be eaten alive by sharks as they spent a night floating over Australia's Great Barrier Reef, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Dick Neely, 38, and Alison Dalton, 40, were plucked by a helicopter from the ocean Saturday off the eastern coast after an overnight air search.

Thanks for the flag. These stories terrify me. "Open Water" terrified me. I believe water is for drinking and bathing. Maybe it comes from being knocked over by a rogue wave, tumbled underwater and carried downstream for quite a ways when I was a kid.
