PHUKET: The search resumed on Monday for a missing Romanian man who failed to surface after a dive from a small boat near an island in tambon Rawai, Muang district, on Sunday.

About 12.40pm they prepared to leave the area near the island where they had stopped, but the boat’s anchor had snagged on something below, probably the rocks.
