WA: Two rescued from Remora=2

The Remora was being operated by two men working for civilian diving contractor Cal
Dive International.

It was undergoing its twice yearly safety certification test with the Australian navy
when the cable broke.

The two men had been stranded for almost 13 hours.

The pod has now failed the navy's certification test .. meaning if there's an accident
on navy submarines .. help will have to be sought from Singapore or the United States.
