A small runabout with 3 POB had headed out to Hunters Bank for a dive/snorkel. The motor stopped and wouldn't restart before they got in the water. 

They contacted the national Coastguard Operations Centre who forwarded the details onto us. Mana Rescue 1 headed out and located them drifting near the original location and towed them back to Mana Marina.
