Malaysian authorities have rescued a Norwegian woman and are searching for two teenagers and a fourth European who disappeared while diving off a southern island. Kristine Grodem, a registered instructor, was found safe by a tugboat.
Kristine Grodem, a 35-year-old registered diving instructor, was rescued by a tugboat early Thursday about 22 nautical miles from the dive site and airlifted to a hospital, according to Johor state maritime authorities.
They were diving together Wednesday afternoon in water about 15 meters deep at an island off the town of Mersing in southern Johor state. The agency began a search Wednesday afternoon before suspending it for the night due to poor visibility. The search resumed early Thursday with two planes, 18 boats and about 90 personnel, including rescue divers.
“Based on her account, the three others managed to surface. With their equipment, their full gear and their experience, we believe there is a strong chance of finding them alive,” he said.
