Missing divers found in sea off Anglesey by rescue crews | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Two divers have been found safe after a search was launched when they failed to return to their boat. | |
The pair were found by a helicopter rescue crew just before 18:00 BST, five hours after they were reported missing by support crew in a boat near South Stack lighthouse, Holyhead, Anglesey | |
Multiple coastguard and RNLI crews, and a team from RAF Valley on the island, joined the search. | |
They were found unharmed some way from where they had gone into the water. | |
At the height of the search, the RNLI's Ray Steadman said rescue teams had been covering a large area from the lighthouse south to Trearddur Bay. | |
