Two Russian divers were found dead, one in the jaws of a shark, after a strong current separated them from their group in a popular Philippine scuba spot, a coast guard official said. Four Russians -- 57-year-old Eduart Perigudin, his two sons Timofy and Ilya aged 18 and 29, and another man -- were diving near the Batangas resort area on the main island of Luzon when they and their dive master were pulled apart by an underwater current, district coast guard chief Airland Lapitan said. Ilya Perigudin was missing both arms when he was pulled dead from waters in which multiple sharks were seen, according to coast guard. - AFP
