A French woman and British man who disappeared while diving off the coast of Malaysia were found safe on Saturday, drifting at sea two and a half days after they went missing, police said.
Four people went missing on Wednesday at around noon on a training dive near Tokong Sanggol, a small island off the southeastern town of Mersing.
The group’s instructor, Kristine Grodem, 35, from Norway, was rescued on Thursday.
Fishermen spotted Alexia Alexandra Molina, 18, from France, and Briton Adrian Peter Chesters, 46, at around 1 am (1700 GMT on Friday) in waters off Pengerang, a considerable distance to the south of where they disappeared, Mersing district police chief Cyril Edward Nuing told reporters.
“Both individuals ... are reported to be in stable condition,” he said, adding that marine police had taken them to hospital. He declined to provide more details of the rescue.
Rescuers were searching for Chesters’ 14-year-old son, Dutch citizen Nathan Renze Chesters, Nuing said.
