PASIR GUDANG: An unexpected voice call from Kristine Grodem, one of four missing foreign divers off the Mersing coast, using the Facebook application on Thursday (April 7) morning, has provided much-needed relief to her worried friend, a British national, Richard Wills.

Wills, 29, said he received a call from Norwegian diving coach Grodem, 35, at about 9.16am, a day after Grodem and three other divers - British national Adrian Peter, 46, his 14-year-old son Nathen Renze who is a Dutch national and French woman Alexia Alexandra, 18, were reported missing.

"I was at an area where the phone signal was bad so I was driving around trying to get better signals. As I picked up her call, I was in tears, very relieved and grateful that Kristine called me. I was never this happy when someone called me before,” he told reporters after visiting Peter Chesters and Alexandra Molina in the Intensive Care Unit at a private hospital here on Saturday .

Chesters and Molina were found safe in southern Pengerang, Kota Tinggi, at about 1am today, while Grodem was found safe floating, equipped with clothing and diving equipment, by a tugboat en route from Indonesia to Thailand at 8.15am on Thursday.
