KUCHING, April 22 The body of missing diver Karen Chong, 31, was found about 52km from her last known location today.
MMEA Sarawak deputy director of operations Capt Yousry Yaali said local fishermen spotted Chong’s body around 9am about 16.4 nautical miles north of Tanjung Po.
“It is believed that the victim had drifted at a distance of 32 nautical miles or 52km from the last position she solo-dived.
MMEA Sarawak deputy director of operations Capt Yousry Yaali said details have emerged on the 31-year-old in terms of her and other divers’ activities in the area.
“How she dived, the equipment that she wore while diving like the wetsuit, the oxygen tank, and its type of material, the probability of the victim getting stuck or drifting or drowning, hopefully the victim will emerge.
“At the same time, we hope the weather conditions are good. Currently the wind is basically blowing from the west towards the island, about 270 to 315 knots, and we hope, even if the victim is drifting, will drift this way (Pulau Satang/Telaga Air), and we hope that the victim would not drift too far to the open sea, but to the land, that’s our hope,” he said during the SAR operation briefing at the Telaga Air Jetty near here this morning.
