Remote-controlled underwater vehicles were on Wednesday joining specialist divers in a third day searching for the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and others missing from the Bayesian superyacht as loved ones clung to the slimmest hopes of life.
The underwater vehicles were being used to assist divers seeking to clear a route past scattered furniture and other debris that has so far blocked access to cabins of the vessel lying 50 metres below the sea off the coast of Sicily.
