The submersible - which has no power of its own - became entangled in a fishing net at a depth of 190m (620ft) off the Kamchatka peninsula, officials say. The sailors have been contacted and none are hurt, according to the navy. It adds that another submersible will be lowered to release the crew, who have enough oxygen for four more days. Russian navy spokesman Igor Dygalo told Itar-Tass news agency that 10 ships had been sent to the area. The submersible, normally used for underwater rescue operations, was taking part in a military exercise when the accident occurred on Thursday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4747783.stm Dear List Members, Dasha is Ma/Mo/Mo/Ju/Sa.
