Aclose shave
Many oJus have come backJrom holiday with complaints about the hotel, the Jood or the weather. But that's nothing compared to the experience oJfive tourists
when they went on a simple diving trip near Bali.
fiHOLioAYMAKERL were looking fOIwafct'to -:ffi- enjoyable hour's diving, but they certainly got more than they had expected! As they set off on their
adventure, unaware of any danger, it seemed like another day in paradise. They had no idea their short dive would turn into a terrifying 48-hour ordeal.
They had finished their dive, and they were swimming back to shore when the strong tide stopped them from reaching the land. They struggled desperately in the water, but eventually they realised it was an impossible task. Strong currents swept them further out to sea where they knew there were sharks. Their only hope for survival was to stay as a group, so they tied themselves together. Luckily they found a large piece of floating wood and this probably saved their lives. After nine hours, when they were losing hope, one of them spotted a tiny island. Using the last of their energy they managed to swim to the shore. However, unknown to them, their ordeal was just beginning. Another danger was waiting for them - the Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard.
The Komodo dragon is a carnivore with an enormous appetite: it eats pigs, deer, and other dragons. A fully- grown dragon can kill an animal twice its size with its 60 sharp teeth. If you try to get away, it will come after you. Try to climb a tree and it will wait for you. And if this isn't bad enough, one tiny bite can kill

you. The-exbausted divers were trying to rest on tbe beach when a group of these terrifying creatures came towards them. The frightened divers threw rocks to drive them away. This situation continued for two sleepless nights, but as the dragons became more confident, they started to come closer and closer. The divers' situation was fast becoming hopeless and no one else knew where they were.
A helicopter search for them had to stop because there wasn't enough fuel, but fortunately help came from another direction. Their saviour was Frank Winkler, a German who ran a diving club. With amazing skill, Frank used his knowledge of the tides and currents to work out where the group was likely to be, and sent a couple of speed boats there. One boat was passing the island when someone saw a tiny figure waving desperately from the beach. The group was saved!
As you can imagine, the divers were absolutely exhausted, hungry and thirsty but otherwise they had suffered just a few cuts and bruises. Almost immediately the news of their rescue was sent to their delighted families who had feared the worst. The divers soon got over the physical effects of their awful ordeal, but the psychological effects will probably remain with them for a long time. So before we complain about a noisy hotel, or the terrible food on our last holiday, we should remember these divers, and consider ourselves lucky.
