Absolutely wonderful news. Somebody (or something) above was definitely looking out for them and it appears that they kept their wits about them for the duration which I'm sure helped contribute to the miraculous results of the rescue search.

This is fantastic. A truely happy ending. A story to tell the grand kids. 36 hours, what if the grand kids ask if you ever peed in your wetsuit :11: ???

On the learning side, I'd like to find out what signaling devices, SMB's (color) & other safety equipment were deployed, since they stated that the helos went over them & didn't see them. We've got to figure out what works. Great idea using the camera flash as a signal.

Again, GREAT NEWS.

Ditto... Wonderful news. In real life, it's all too often a nightmare story doesn't have a good ending. I'm glad they were found.

Great News!!!

According to him the divers used flash from their cameras to alert the choppers and thats how they were discovered.

Now I have one more reason to buy 2 strobes for my camera. 2 strobes = better photos and redundant signaling device.
