According to the police, the two expats were rescued from the waters between Villimale and Feydhoo Finolhu in Kaafu atoll at around 12pm. They were employees of a ship that was nearby.
The police said that the expat who was drifting in the ocean had jumped in after seeing the other man drift away on the dinghy; however, the currents had gotten a hold of him and he had started drifting away as well.
The two men and the dinghy were returned to their ship, the police said.
