MANILA, Philippines—Two Russian tourists died when they were swept away by strong undercurrents while scuba diving in waters south of Manila, with one believed to have drowned and the other attacked by sharks, a Philippine coast guard official said Friday.
Two other Russian tourists managed to swim back safely to their dive boat Thursday off Verde Island, a popular diving destination in the Province of Batangas, Philippine coast guard provincial commander Capt. Airland Lapitan said.
