Couple survives 36 hours at sea after current carries them while scuba diving near Matagorda
A couple from Oklahoma survived two nights and nearly two days bobbing in the Gulf of Mexico last week. Kim and Nathan Maker were part of a group scuba diving old offshore oil platforms roughly 15 miles off the coast of Matagorda. On Wednesday, while trying to help another diver get back to a rope they could hold on to, Nathan was whisked away by the current. His wife tried to reach out and grab his hand while he fought the current.
