Missing Divers Off STX - Thursday Afternoon
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.
3:15 PM
It was two and they were just picked up by a passing boat off the east end of Buck island. Whew!

Thank God they are alive and OK.
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.
