2 men were rescued after free-diving off Carmel State Beach over the weekend. Emergency responders were called just after 1 p.m. yesterday after a group of 4 divers were seen struggling in the water near Stuart’s Cove, south to the river mouth. 2 of the 4 divers were able to swim ashore when a lifeguard stationed at Monastery Beach responded. The other 2 divers, both Santa Cruz residents, were brought to safety.
