After more than two days at sea, British and French divers were rescued in Malaysia.



Police said a French woman and a British man who went missing while diving off the coast of Malaysia were found safe on Saturday, drifting at sea two and a half days after they went missing.

Four people went missing on a training dive near Tokong Sanggol, a small island off the southeastern town of Mersing, around noon on Wednesday.

Kristine Grodem, 35, of Norway, the group's instructor, was rescued on Thursday.

Fishermen spotted Alexia Alexandra Molina, 18, of France, and Adrian Peter Chesters, 46, of the United Kingdom, around 1 a.m. (1700 GMT on Friday) in waters off Pengerang, a considerable distance south of where they vanished, Mersing district police chief Cyril Edward Nuing reported

"Both individuals... are reported to be in stable condition," he said, adding that they had been taken to the hospital by marine police. He declined to go into further detail about the rescue.

According to Nuing, rescuers were looking for Chesters' 14-year-old son, Dutch citizen Nathan Renze Chesters.

Grodem told officials that the group surfaced about an hour into their dive on Wednesday but were unable to locate their boat.

She later became separated from the others after becoming entangled in strong currents.

According to police, the boat operator who took them to the dive site was detained after testing positive for drugs.
