A helicopter, airplane, and boat were sent out by the emergency responders to locate the divers.
During a span of 36 hours, the U.S. Coast Guard combed through a total of 1,656 square miles in their search efforts.
Not long after, the aircrew of the aircraft caught sight of a blinking light in the sea as they scoured the area and located the divers.
The divers were taken to the Coast Guard Station Freeport and their condition was last reported as stable.
