The divers, members of Sligo Sub-Aqua Club, were on an early-afternoon dive when they became separated from their dive-boat in strong currents off Portronan, near Malin Head, on 1 June.
Searches were carried out by two Coastguard helicopters, from the Irish and British Coastguard services, and several fishing boats, reported the Belfast Telegraph. The divers were found and recovered after two hours in the water, and did not require hospitalisation.
