The twelve dove in full diving gear in a culturally protected zone
in which a wreck of a 16 century sailing vessel is located. This is
an archaeological finding discovered at the beginning of this
year.
Unofficial sources say the divers did not have a chance to dive
anything out, and had on them the most modern diving gear for
searching the sea bed.
The Austrians were brought to the police station where they were
questioned. An investigation is still underway to see whether
criminal or misdemeanour charges will be bought against them.
