Two Divers Rescued From Bridlington Bay

Earlier this afternoon Humber Coastguard coordinated a search for two missing wreck divers following a Mayday distress call.

An RAF Rescue Helicopter and the warship 'Severn' proceeded at speed to the area south of Flamborough Head in Bridlington Bay from where the distress call emanated. RNLI lifeboats from Flamborough and Bridlington and local vessels also joined the search.

The fishing vessel 'Moyall', one of first craft to the search area located the divers waving identification flags and the divers were recovered to their dive boat `Leeds Diver 1' and were escorted back to the launching site.

Humber Coastguard Watch Manager Tony Ellis said:

"From the initial distress call to recovery was only 37 minutes, partially due to the prompt communication from the dive marshal to the Coastguard and the swift response of the search units. Our thanks to one and all.!
