Dramatic Rescue: Tourists and Crew Saved from Sinking Boat near Gili Trawangan
In a thrilling rescue off the coast of Gili Trawangan, the Ocean 5 vessel sank while carrying four foreign tourists and a crew. The group, including a Dutchman, an Indian, and two Australians, was on a diving and snorkeling trip when powerful waves rocked the boat, causing water to fill the engine and lead to the capsize. Fortunately, a nearby dive center heard their SOS signal and quickly arrived to evacuate everyone safely. The rescue boat towed the sunken vessel back to Gili Air, with no injuries reported.
This incident highlights the importance of checking weather conditions and the seaworthiness of boats before embarking on ocean excursions. Tourists are reminded to prioritize safety while enjoying Bali's beautiful waters.
