The work to refloat the submersible began on Monday in the area where it was sunk, in Punta Couso, at the entrance of the Aldán estuary. The divers of the Special Groups of Underwater Activities (GEAS) of the Civil Guard managed to lift it with balloons and was dragged to the interior of the bay late in the afternoon.

However, because it got hooked on some nets, and the balloons lost some air, the towing operation had to be suspended, and the submarine sank again a mile from the port of Aldán.

At mid-morning on Tuesday, work was resumed to refloat the ship and finally it has been dragged to the dock, with the help of two fishing boats that provided power and stability to the trailer.

Once in effective port of Civil Guard, Customs Surveillance and the tugboat itself work to shrink water and make the bathyscaphe emerge completely before proceeding to the discharge of the drug that is inside, a cargo that, according to the first indications, could reach 3,000 kilos of cocaine, reports Efe.
