BUDAPEST - South Korean divers in Hungary prepared on Monday for an attempt to reach the wreck of a pleasure boat which had been carrying mostly South Korean tourists when it sank in the Danube last week, killing at least seven people.

Early on Monday, a diver was being prepared by a team on a barge while South Korean rescue personnel manned several rubber speedboats on the fast flowing river. The South Korean rescue team plans to recover bodies while the shipwreck is still on the river bed, having overruled Hungary's proposal to lift the hull out of the water first.
