SAN DIEGO Eight scuba divers were rescued after the boat they were on capsized in the ocean off Mission Beach, a lifeguard lieutenant said today.
The divers had been exploring the 366-foot Canadian destroyer Yukon, which years ago was sunk to a depth of 100 feet as an artificial reef, San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma said.
They had just come off the Yukon about a mile off the San Diego Coast and boarded their own boat about 11:30 p.m. Friday, when the boat started taking on water, Lerma said.
One diver managed to send a distress call before the boat capsized, Lerma said.
Lifeguards in a boat found the divers clinging to the capsized boat, Lerma said.
The divers were unhurt, said Lerma.
