One of the Japanese women rescued after disappearing while scuba diving off the Indonesian island of Bali recounted on Tuesday her harrowing ordeal of being swallowed up by strong currents and surviving on coconuts.
Saori Furukawa, one of the two locally based Japanese diving instructors who were leading five others on a diving expedition, said in email responses to the media that the currents at the time were "like the water streams in a washing machine."
Furukawa, 37, was rescued along with four others Monday and is in a hospital.
