弗洛勒斯海域四名潜水者被洋流卷走失踪，印尼搜救人员与渔民连夜搜寻
毛梅雷——10月4日，印度尼西亚东努沙登加拉省锡卡县（Sikka）庞加巴唐岛（Pulau Pangabatang）附近海域发生潜水事故：四名潜水者被强劲洋流卷走失踪，其中包括两名爱尔兰游客、一名奥地利游客和一名印尼本地潜水向导。印尼国家搜救局（Basarnas）毛梅雷搜救办公室在当天下午约2时10分接报后，立即联合海军、东努沙登加拉水警和当地渔民展开搜寻。
事发海域位于弗洛勒斯岛附近的毛梅雷海洋花园潜水区，以倾斜的珊瑚礁和墙潜闻名，同时也以水流强劲著称。当天潜水者被分成两个小组、各有一名向导陪同。第一组——60岁的荷兰游客巴特·哈泽斯（Bart Hazes）和25岁的向导玛丽亚·罗莎·哈里亚娜·贾阿（Maria Rosa Hariana Djaa）——按计划浮出水面；第二组则被水下暗流困住，未能返回。失踪者包括43岁的奥地利游客帕特里夏·雷特（Patricia Retter）、28岁的爱尔兰潜水者德弗拉·穆利根（Dervla Mulligan）、27岁的达拉·麦基尔南（Darragh McKiernan）以及39岁的向导弗雷德里克·霍林蓬（Frederik Horimpun）。
搜救在当天下午即传来好消息：雷特于约下午4时30分被当地渔民在巴比岛与南加哈莱之间水域发现，距原潜水点约3.7英里，随后被送往南加哈莱接受治疗。其余三人的搜寻持续了一整夜。10月5日星期一，穆利根和麦基尔南在距失踪地点约5.9公里的海面上被发现仍然漂浮着——他们靠潜水装备保持浮力，人很疲惫但身体无碍；向导霍林蓬也一同获救。四人全部生还。
毛梅雷搜救办公室负责人、搜救任务协调员法图尔·拉赫曼（Fathur Rahman）表示，两名爱尔兰潜水者被找到时仍在使用潜水装备，“他们很健康，只是精疲力竭”。弗洛勒斯及科莫多一带海域以洋流变化快著称，这是本潜水季该海域最严重的一起潜水者失踪事件；当地搜救机构表示将复盘本次救援与潜水运营的安全流程。

Four Divers Swept Away by Strong Currents off Flores; Indonesian Rescuers and Fishermen Mount Overnight Search
MAUMERE, Indonesia — Four divers were swept away by strong currents and went missing on October 4 in waters near Pulau Pangabatang in Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, off the island of Flores. The missing were two Irish tourists, an Austrian tourist and an Indonesian dive guide. The Maumere Search and Rescue Office, part of Indonesia's national search and rescue agency Basarnas, raised the alarm at about 2:10 p.m. and launched a joint search with the Indonesian Navy, the East Nusa Tenggara water police and local fishermen.
The dive site, in the Maumere Sea Gardens area, is known for its sloping coral reefs and walls — and for notoriously strong currents. The divers had split into two teams, each with a local guide. The first group, 60-year-old Dutch tourist Bart Hazes and his 25-year-old guide Maria Rosa Hariana Djaa, surfaced as expected. The second team was caught in the underwater current and failed to return. The missing were Austrian tourist Patricia Retter, 43, Irish divers Dervla Mulligan, 28, and Darragh McKiernan, 27, and their local guide Frederik Horimpun, 39.
The first breakthrough came the same afternoon: local fishermen found Retter at about 4:30 p.m. in the water between Pulau Babi and Nangahale, roughly 3.7 miles from the dive site, and she was taken to Nangahale for medical treatment. The search for the other three continued overnight. On Monday, October 5, Mulligan and McKiernan were found floating at sea about 5.9 kilometres from where the group disappeared, still using their scuba equipment to stay afloat — healthy, but exhausted. Guide Horimpun was also brought to safety. All four survived.
Fathur Rahman, head of Basarnas Maumere and coordinator of the rescue mission, said the two Irish divers were still using their dive gear when rescuers reached them: they were healthy, just exhausted. The waters around Flores and Komodo are known for fast-changing currents, and the incident was the most serious diver-missing case of this dive season in the area. Local authorities said the rescue and the operator's safety procedures would be reviewed.
