Two of the three European divers missing off Malaysia have been recovered alive.
A 46-year-old Briton and an 18-year-old French woman were brought to safety after three days in the sea, the Malaysian news agency Bernama reported on Saturday, citing the police.
The newspaper "Star" wrote that the two were discovered by fishermen during the night (local time).
The search continues for a 14-year-old with Dutch nationality – the son of the rescued Brit.
The tourists, together with their Norwegian diving instructor, went on a diving trip off the island of Pulau Tokong Sanggol in the state of Johor on Wednesday, about nine nautical miles (16.6 kilometers) from the mainland.
The 35-year-old diving instructor, who was also initially missing, was found in good condition on Thursday – but 30 nautical miles from the site of the dive.
According to their statements, the four were back on the water surface when they were driven apart by strong currents.
However, the authorities had always shown confidence that the missing could be recovered alive.
The three are not only experienced divers, but also equipped with diving equipment such as fins and vests as well as training material, it said.
All had reportedly been training for Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
The rescued are currently being treated in hospital.
The captain of the boat that took the group out to sea had sounded the alarm on Wednesday after the group failed to return.
However, he has since been arrested because authorities say he tested positive for drugs.
