BALI, Indonesia, June 7 (UPI) -- Five European divers rescued after drifting for days in Indonesian waters were recovering Saturday after being found by fisherman, local police said.
The divers, including three Britons, a Frenchman and a Swede, were pulled from the sea near a remote island chain east of Bali Saturday and were on their way to Labuanbajo for treatment, the Antara news agency reported, adding the men's conditions were not immediately known.
Indonesian authorities said at least one the divers was dehydrated.
Antara said the government was forced to enlist the aid of local fishermen in the search for the divers when it encountered difficulty finding enough fuel to keep search aircraft aloft. It reported the divers were exploring reefs in the Komodo National Park area when they went missing late Thursday afternoon.
The search area lies about 300 miles east of the resort island of Bali.
