Fortunatly everyone got back on board OK. It seems the storm really started blowing while they were still under, so by the time they came up they had managed to drift a ways from the boat. It also didn't help that the rain was coming down so hard the crew on the Iron Eagle couldn't see them (even though one of the divers had a safety sausage deployed and another was blowing on his wistle. After 45 minutes in the water everyone was eventually located and returned.
