In Durban eleven German tourists had to be pulled from the water off the Sun Coast Casino after the vessel they were on overturned in the surf this afternoon.

According to Netcare it seems they were out on a whale watching trip when a wave hit the boat from the side and flipped it.

Lifeguards who went to their rescue realized that two tourists were still missing.

They found them trapped in an air pocket inside the upturned boat.
