Artist's redition of the mystery divers

Coast guards rescued three divers off the northern coast of Poland over the weekend whose dubious explanation of their night-time dive near critical energy infrastructure, along with their mysterious identities, has reportedly sparked a cross-agency investigation. The three men, who told authorities they were Spanish nationals, were rescued near the Polish coastal city of Gdansk on Saturday night after their small motorboat broke down and they couldn't return to shore.
Since then, doubts over their intentions have mounted. They were rescued not far from the Naftoport facility at the Port of Gdansk, which receives tanker shipments of oil and other and petroleum products. They were also found near an area where there are plans to build a new floating natural gas terminal.
SAR spokesman Rafal Goeck described the rescue operation — at just before 2 a.m. local time — as "rather unnatural."
"We received a signal from the fire brigade about a vessel in trouble," Goeck told CBS News, adding that conditions at the time were rough, with strong winds and high seas. The air temperature was only about 43 degrees Fahrenheit, and the water was closer to 37.
"In my 12-year career at the Maritime Search and Rescue Service, I have not experienced anything like that," he said. "It is a rather unnatural thing to be diving under these conditions."
Police officials determined that the men were not authorized to operate the boat and had not obtained permission to dive. According to Polish media reports, only one of the men had a Spanish passport, while the others offered only verbal identification.
Another wrinkle was their explanation: The men claimed to have been searching for amber. While the Baltic Sea is famous for its vast deposits of amber, searching for it in the dark is unlikely to be a successful strategy.
Officers apparently saw nothing suspicious at first in the fact that the men were diving near critical infrastructure at night with no permit and atypical amber-hunting equipment, and the local police did not pursue the matter, releasing the men without further questioning.
They have all reportedly left Poland.
Cezary Przepiorka, deputy captain of the Port of Gdansk, told Polish media that only one of the men had formal identification, and the phone numbers offered by the divers were either incorrect or non-functional.
Police and the Polish Internal Security Agency have begun investigating the matter. Various reports say Poland's Central Investigation Bureau of Police, a unit that deals with organized crime, is the lead agency. The bureau declined CBS News' request to comment on the case.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the protection of vital national energy infrastructure as Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine continues to keep energy prices sky-high. A thorough investigation can be expected, especially so soon after the sabotage attack on the undersea Nordstream 1 gas pipeline just weeks ago.
Oh what's becoming of me? No! No!
Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean?
Gotta get away, get away Gotta get away, get away, yeah

Mystery Divers, Mystery Divers There's a cat in the blue coming after you, Mystery Divers

Hmm hmm hmm
Who was the Keystone Cops who let these possible terrorists go without plausible explanation?
Seeeeee-Yaiiiii-Ayeeeee.
I used to have that album on cassette. :-)
The Russians are coming.
WEF/Deep state needs to cut off the Polish pipeline to Germany [’coincidentally’ opened the day after Nord2 was sabotaged] and pin it on the russkies. Two birds with one stone.
Would a Polish joke be in poor taste here?
Question: How can you tell the bride and groom in the crowd in the wedding celebration party?
Answer: They are the two with the CLEAN bowling shirts.
“We released the Divers after they told us they were looking for Amber. We quickly informed the Divers that
the only Amber we knew of was the divorced actress Amber Heard, and she was somewhere in America, certainly not to be found in the depths of Polish waters no matter what the hour of the night. The Divers thanked us for the valuable information, then promptly left in an Uber!”

YES ⚽️🤣🤣🤣🤭
Sounds like you want a more larger war.
In Gdańsk? The whole place is nothing but stores selling amber.
Looks like they found Amber.
How long until something mysteriously goes boom.
Question: Did you see the Polish submarine with a screen door? Answer: Don’t laugh, it keeps the fish out.
“They have all reportedly left Poland.”
Interesting...must have been Western divers working to further subvert Europe’s energy situation. Otherwise there is NO WAY they would have been released so quickly.
The GROM are not to be laughed at!
Among the best special forces in the world!
