    The local stations there are reporting 6 of the 8 found and hospitalized? Nothing confirmed.

    According to local news all 8 were found. They had drifted the opposite direction underwater and used the Camera Strobes to alert a Helicopter. Good News!

    Strobes, GREAT IDEA! We use strobes attached to the anchor line so we can find our way back when diving in New Jersey, I have always thought it might be a good idea to have a small one on me while diving, especially good for a night dive! They are fairly inexpensive and pretty small as well.

    I have also seen them used inside larger wrecks rather than using a reel for large areas to mark the exit.

    Yeah, the flares,smoke etc are illegal in my country for civilians. But i pack a small mirror, sausage, whistle and high pitch air horn as part of my BC gear. Never pays to be prepared!

    Default July 4th!

    Folks, lets get this whole July 4th thing in context. At the time, it was a bunch of British colonials who were rebelling against an oppressive German King and his ridiculous tax demands. And we won!

    To my American friends ....... you are welcome!
