Search continues for missing diver off Fife coast

A SEARCH has resumed for a diver missing in the Forth Estuary.

The man in his 30s disappeared in Largo Bay yesterday.

He was reported missing at lunchtime after requesting more diving weights from his boat crew.

An underwater search unit surveyed the area until late last night but found no sign of the man.

A coastguard rescue team is carrying out a shore search this morning and a Kinghorn RNLI lifeboat is back in the area where the diver went missing.

Forth Coastguard said last night: "The missing diver is reported to be a local man in his mid to late 30s who chartered the boat locally.

"The two men who remained on the boat reported that the man had surfaced during the dive in approximately six metres of water and requested more weights, but did not resurface after this".
