Scuba Diving Party Survives Dangerous Currents, Komodo Dragon

Indian Ocean

Five European scuba divers who disappeared two days ago off the coast of Tatawa island have been found alive. The divers were dragged off course by dangerously strong currents, and washed ashore on Rinca island, a deadly reptiles wildlife reserve 20 miles from their dive site. There, they were threatened by a Komodo dragon, which one of the divers fought off by pelting it with rocks. The Komodo's bite can be deadly, as can being stranded on a remote island, however the five divers are safe now and recovering at a (relatively) nearby hospital.
