Four divers who hadn't been seen since they plunged into the Atlantic Ocean more than 60 miles east of Myrtle Beach, S.C., over the weekend were rescued in the early hours of Monday, the Coast Guard said.

Some 12 hours after diving off a pleasure boat named Big Bill's, the divers wound up being brought aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. It was just one of a number of sea and air assets that were enlisted to bring the four to safety.
