A GROUP of divers whose boat drifted away from them were rescued by Bembridge lifeboat this morning (Monday).

The lifeboat was called to Dunose, off Ventnor, at about 11.15am, after the propeller of the boat Wight Diver became snagged on a rope and drifted from where the divers had entered the water.

The Coastguard helicopter was standing by, but was not required.

The divers were uninjured according to a Bembridge Lifeboat spokesman.
