Sacramento woman, friend rescued after 19 hours adrift off Australia
They found themselves alone, lost and drifting further away in the lukewarm waters above the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Sacramento scuba diver and business owner Allyson Dalton, who just months ago earned a dive master certification, was bound to her boyfriend their cold wet suits tied tightly as they bobbed along the ocean's surface,
It was like this for 19 terrifying hours before Dalton and her companion, Richard Neely, 38, of Britain, were rescued by a helicopter crew Saturday off Australia's eastern coast.

How terrifying! I thought after that incident a few years ago that safeguards had been put in place to prevent this from happening again!
