Four divers have been rescued after they initially went missing around 50 miles off Cape Fear, North Carolina, authorities said. The men were diving from a recreational boat around 63 miles east of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at around midday but failed to resurface, the Coast Guard said in a statement. After the alarm was raised, multiple rescue teams were mobilized to find the divers, with several vessels and aircraft—including an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and an HC-130 Hercules airplane—dispatched to join the search. Early Monday, USCG Mid-Atlantic tweeted to say the men had been “found and rescued” roughly “46 miles southeast of Cape Fear River, North Carolina.”
