After being rescued, Aflah told media outlet Tanjaoui what happened on Saturday afternoon.
"Everything was normal – we woke up, had breakfast and rented a boat from the marina," he said.
"On our way out to sea, we were even stopped by the coastguard, who made sure our papers were in order and that we had life jackets.
"Everything was fine and we were swimming within sight of the shore and just a few metres from the boat before the sea completely changed and heavy winds took us away from the boat."
