FYI...

The USCG is currently performing SAR about three miles north of Teague Bay/Knight Bay for two missing divers.

I heard it was 3. Two of them are off duty officers.

I'm not familiar with that location, where is it?

I hope they are ok. How long have they been missing?

Teague Bay/Knight Bay are on the East End of STX, north side. St. Croix Yacht Club, Duggan's Reef restaurant and Reef Condos are around there.

It was two and they were just picked up by a passing boat off the east end of Buck island. Whew!

There were 3 but the third was the captain. Captain was on the boat but sick and could not find the two in the water and was able to call for help.

I heard the captain didn't feel well, left the site for a while, and couldn't find the two divers when he returned. He then called for help which initiated the search. Glad the divers were found.
