"We think in 20 different parts of the body where he nailed us knife we had, imagining in which hurt less. But we are a couple of chickens, I do not believe that we had cut off a nail"
He last Wednesday 31 of August, five divers, four of them of nationality Colombian and one American, disappeared near the island of Malpelo, located in the Ocean Pacific and belonging to Colombia. All them were part of a group of diving that wore days performing dives by the area and that afternoon were taking to out the last scheduled by the expedition.
Peter Morse, the diver American, was the first in be rescued by them services of emergency after passing a night whole clinging to an of the rocks of Malpelo. Hernán Darío Rodríguez and Jorge Iván Morales, for his part, remained more than two days adrift to be found. Unfortunately, the other two divers, Érika Vanessa Díaz and Carlos Enrique Jiménez, continue even in whereabouts unknown, when it has already been a week of his disappearance.
DRAGGED BY THE CURRENT
"Supposed that we were going to make a last farewell simple immersion. We were in an area of diving called the Cathedral: a cavern about 24 meters of depth. It went through and continue moving forward. "At that moment felt two very strong currents that divided the Group: an ascending Érika Vanessa, Carlos and Peter took towards the surface, and one descending took us to Jorge and me about 35 meters", says Dario Hernán, once rescued by the emergency operation.
"Feel " " two very strong currents that divided the group"
"We had the opportunity to regroup ourselves and go out together to the surface. There we gave features of that the current us had displaced in sense Southeast. Went to some 400 meters from the point in which was the boat waiting for us. We were able to see the back of the boat, but we were away. We inflate a deco buoys so that we would see, but to realize that we had much oxygen in bottles, we decided to get to swim with the sharks. Vanessa and Carlos were waiting on the surface", still telling the Colombian diver.
"The surprise came when climbed another time." Had a power by force on us and we were far away, almost at one kilometre, from the initial site. There we realized that the situation was serious. "Then some waves separated the Group: they dragged Vanessa and Carlos on the one hand, to Jorge and Peter on the other hand, and I was only".
Hernan Dario managed to gather is again with Jorge, after this tried without success follow the rhythm of the American Peter, that decided to swim in seeks of the boat.
SURVIVE TWO DAYS ADRIFT
But, How could survive Rodríguez and Morales more than two days to it derives, among sharks and jellyfish? Them two divers is faced mainly to them serious problems of dehydration and hypothermia, since the protection thermal of them suits of diving is limited and there are that have in has that is loses 20 times more fast the heat in the water that in circumstance normal in Earth. the temperature of the water in Malpelo oscillates between them 26 and the 28 degrees, although can give is running more cold.
However, two divers also had to battle against the fear, hopelessness, anxiety, the frutracion and the stress. "To five in the afternoon were completely alone. Do not saw nothing nor to anyone. We thought that very soon a boat would come to rescue us. But not was as well. At seven o'clock there was only darkness and we understood the seriousness of what was happening. That was it more hard: accept that were lost in the sea and that would have to spend the night there. We stayed with our teams tied and caught the hand. The first night was a hell", has Hernán Dario."
"It more hard was accepting that were lost in the sea"
The two divers, Rodriguez and Morales, established the strategy of not away is of Malpelo. Swam espaldas to the rock, "but was very frustrating because advanced a metro and the current us away five".
"We attacked the jellyfish: some 15 is taught with my neck and the pain was terrible"
"We had to keep us warm and avoid taking salt water. The first hours only danced in the water. Started to attack us with jellyfish, especially to me: about 15 is taught with my neck and the pain was terrible; the next day, the victim was Jorge. That night, I was also vomiting 40 minutes all the water that had swallowed. I had very low morale".
