Five European divers missing for about two days were found alive on a remote beach in eastern Indonesia on Saturday, police said. Police began searching for the divers - three Britons, a Frenchman and a Swede - after they went missing on Thursday in dangerous waters near the Komodo National Park in the Nusa Tenggara islands, Viktor Jemadu, a senior police officer in the Manggarai Barat area told Reuters.
The five divers were part of a team of 14 who did not surface when waves suddenly picked up during a dive. Their team contacted police, who began scouring the waters late on Thursday.
"The police patrol spotted them waving their hands from a beach on Rinca island. They were safe and sound, but were a bit hungry," Jemadu said.
The divers were in a boat heading to Labuan Bajo city.
The Komodo National Park is famous for a giant lizard of the same name.
