From the Scuba Forum: 8 divers (2 female and 6 males) were supposed to surface around 11AM to 11:30 AM this morning at "Seven Stars" dive site. This is an open water pinnicle site with ripping current. Considering the moon phase the site would almost be un-divable at this time. There was a total of 12 missing but 4 were found. 6 years ago the same shop/boat lost 5 divers at the same site. 2 died and 3 were found few days later alive. Saturday, April 26, 2008
