Coast Guard searching for missing divers off Jupiter Inlet

The Coast Guard is searching for seven missing divers off the Jupiter Inlet.

The search is focused in an area five miles off the coast.

The Coast Guard told CBS12 it has dispatched a boat and helicopter from Station Lake Worth, and resources are being sent from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

The divers are with Emerald Charters, according to the Coast Guard.

JUPITER


Seven divers reported missing five miles east of the Jupiter Inlet on Wednesday have been reunited with their dive boat, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.

The U.S. Coast Guard initially sent an alert that the divers were missing and that the Coast Guard and the sheriff’s office were searching the area.

Can mods change title of thread to reflect that they have been found safe? I hated clicking on this thread...

I wondered what happened - drifted away and were not using dSMB's? How did the boat "lose" them?

Dives in this area are all live boat drifts. Every charter I've been on requires the use of a DSMB with the dive guide pulling a surface buoy - some outfits make each team pull a buoy so it's hard for me to understand how such a large group would slip away from their tender.

I've been on a charter drift dive out of Jupiter (not Emerald). We didn't deploy SMBs until we surfaced. No one dragged a surface marker from 80 ft.
