Update: Search for missing divers

The Police National Dive Squad has this morning recovered two bodies off the southern coast of Otago.
 
While formal identification has not yet taken place, it is believed that the bodies are those of the two Balclutha men reported overdue from their diving trip on Saturday night.
 
Our thoughts are with the families of the two men at this incredibly difficult time. 
 
Police would also like to thank all those - especially the volunteers - who were involved in the search for the two men.
