Diver Alive

The families of 15 miners trapped inside a flooded "rat-hole" mine in Meghalaya's East Jaintia Hills have lost all hope of ever seeing them alive again. Their fears are justified -- it's been 21 days since they first entered the pit, and rescue workers are nowhere near flushing it out yet.

With a routine of digging, breaks for water and meditation, a group of young Thai soccer players and their coach stayed alive while trapped in a cave without any food for nine days before they were found by two British divers in a remarkable search-and-rescue operation that gripped the world.

Helicopters of the navy and the coast guard and divers braving powerful waves continued to search for a boy still missing after five of them went swimming near Mumbai's Juhu beach on Thursday evening getting caught in the high tide. Bodies of three boys were recovered by Friday morning while a fifth was rescued alive by life guards.

A diver separated from his boat off the coast of Australia said Sunday he was lucky to be alive after being forced to swim miles back to shore, shadowed by a large tiger shark.

An experienced diver is lucky to be alive after he was mauled by a large shark in a remote area near the Great Barrier Reef, Australian paramedics said Sunday.

A team of eight divers had entered a capsized South Korean ferry on Friday and was searching for survivors, although they were unlikely to find anyone alive from among hundreds still missing more than 48 hours after the vessel began sinking.

Four Japanese scuba divers were found alive on Monday in waters off the Indonesian resort island of Bali three days after going missing, police said.
