PHUKET: The search resumed on Monday for a missing Romanian man who failed to surface after a dive from a small boat near an island in tambon Rawai, Muang district, on Sunday.

Police said Sebastian Somesan, 46, went out in a fibreglass boat with another Romanian man and a Thai woman, departing about 9am from Nai Han beach. They were going diving near Koh Kaew Nok.

About 12.40pm they prepared to leave the area near the island where they had stopped, but the boat's anchor had snagged on something below, probably the rocks.
