One of the divers was spotted on the beach. He told authorities he began chasing after the boat once he realized it had broken loose from its anchor. The second man continued diving and became low on air. He surfaced and used a signaling device to wave down Ocean Rescue, who quickly picked him up on a jet ski.
Neither diver was injured.
