Divers Missing in Australia

January 1st, 2010

A 33 year old diver is missing and presumed drowned south of Perth, Australia.

Local police have said that the missing diver was from South Africa but was living in Perth, and he failed to return to shore while diving with three dive buddies.

1 of the divers had broken a finger and the 3 decided to return to shore, but the missing diver elected to stay.

"A search went on until nightfall but it had to be called off because of the dark and the weather," Inspector Gary Lewis said.

"It's been resumed today but so far there's been no sightings."
