Two divers rescued by Coastguard in Kapiti

The skipper of a Coastguard boat who rescued two divers after they became seperated from their boat in waters near Kapiti - north of Wellington - said the scenario is the stuff of nautical nightmares. The divers were dragged south in swift currrents but managed to swim to a nearby Island and even had provisions to light a fire, alerting the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to their location, Bill Hickman reports.
