Two experienced divers were presumed drowned off Punta de Rasca in south Tenerife

Two experienced divers were missing presumed drowned off Punta de Rasca in south Tenerife where they and a party of eight others had gone out for a morning’s diving.
It was shortly after 10am and after a submersion of some eighty minutes when the divers came up and discovered that two of their group were missing, one a 46-year-old Guardia Civil sergeant and the other a Belgian resident of Arona.
Immediately the alarm went up and a search and rescue operation got underway. Six launches with specialist divers and a helicopter combed the area but with no success.
As the hours passed hopes faded. The two men vanished in an area plagued by strong cross-currents and where depths can reach 40 metres or more.
