The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said that dive yacht M/Y Dream Keeper sank off Tubbataha, Palawan over the weekend due to a squall. A squall is a sudden violent gust of wind or a localized storm which usually lasts for a few seconds. But it was enough to sink M/Y Dream Keeper last Sunday, April 30, while carrying 32 individuals who were supposed to go diving and turn their dream vacation into a nightmare. Search and rescue (SAR) operations were ongoing to find the four individuals who went missing when the incident happened.
