8 divers (2 female and 6 males) were supposed to surface around 11AM to 11:30 AM this morning at "Seven Stars" dive site. It is now 5PM and they have not been found. This is an open water pinnicle site with ripping current. Considering the moon phase the site would almost be un-divable at this time. There was a total of 12 missing but 4were found.
6 years ago the same shop/boat lost 5 divers at the same site. 2 died and 3 were found few days later alive.
2 weeks ago I went out to site but the boat captain cancelled the dive due to high waves. Last year I did the site and the current was strong. However our boat captain is excellent, our group stayed together and the boat stayed right above us the entire time.
Lets hope for the best.
