00:00 A happy ending in Slovenia after divers rescued five people who`d been trapped underground
00:06 for more than two days.
00:08 They`d entered the Krizna Jamad cave on Saturday, but got stuck after heavy rain caused the
00:13 subterranean water to rise fast.
00:16 The popular tourist destination features a string of emerald colored lakes and is only
00:21 accessible by boat and raft.
00:23 Rescue workers say the hours long operation on Monday only became possible when the water
00:27 levels dropped.
00:29 And officials say all five are in good spirits and were not in need of medical help.
