Re: [News] Lucky scuba divers found after 18 hour search

The couple was on the TODAY show this morning. []Divers survive in shark-infested waters - People: Tales of survival - MSNBC.com They did not give any detail on why they were left behind... although Matt Lauer tried to get them to say they had "broken the rules" of the dive. Only at the end did they say that it was the diver operator that bore major blame for leaving the area. And that was in response to "claims" that they should pay for the rescue. They said that DAN insurance would pay some of the costs (I've never heard that as part of DAN's package... true????), but that the dive operator should be liable. They also did everything right during their time in the water... stayed together... conserved body heat... etc. They were also tarred for having sold their story to Australian media... for about $10K. Not a big pay day. What are Aussie news media saying?
