MERSING, April 8 — The mother of a French diver missing off the coast of Malaysia said Friday she is “hoping for the best” as the search for the teenager and two other Europeans entered a third day.
Officials have expressed hope the others will be found alive, as they had surfaced from a dive before going missing and are experienced divers. The other two missing divers are British man Adrian Peter Chesters, 46, and his 14-year-old son Nathan Renze Chesters, who is a Dutch citizen. Grodem had been instructing the divers close to a small island, Tokong Sanggol, about 15 kilometres off Malaysia’s southeast coast when the accident happened.
