Johor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) director First Maritime Admiral Nurul Hizam Zakaria said the victim’s father, British national Adrian Peter Chesters, 46, had informed the authorities about this after he was rescued.

He was found together with French woman Alexia Alexandra Molina, 18, by local fishermen at a location south of Pengerang, near Kota Tinggi, at 1am today.

“The Maritime Rescue Sub Centre (MRSC) in Johor Bahru has informed the Indonesian authorities to help locate the teenager, who is believed to have died and drifted into Indonesian waters,” he said in a statement here today.

He said MMEA had ended the “Op Carilamat” at 1.30pm today following the discovery of three of the four missing foreign divers.

In the incident at noon on Wednesday (April 6), four foreign divers were reported missing while diving in the waters of Pulau Tokong Sanggol, about nine nautical miles from Tanjung Leman here.

Norwegian diving coach Kristine Grodem, 35, was the first to be found safe, fully suited in diving gear by a tugboat en route from Indonesia to Thailand at 8.15am on Thursday.
