Surf Life Saving Northern Region was alerted at
approximately 2.40pm by Coastguard Northern Region to the
plight of two male divers in their 20s who had become
separated from their boat off Ti Point near Omaha Beach.
The Police Eagle helicopter was asked to help locate the
divers in the water and did so shortly after that, dropping
them a flotation device. Lifeguards in an IRB from Omaha
SLSC were able to locate the divers around 3pm and return
them safely to their boat. No medical care was
required.
