What Bowmouth posted is accurate, as far as what was mentioned on Thai TV channels, I heard that myself, rather than what was mentioned in The Nation;
Understanding where the divers went missing, it must've been a sheer 'needle hitting the haystack' scenario, for this student's body to hit the Hardeep and get stuck in it.
Looking forward myself how Aquanuats heard about the Hardeep. As Josh mentioned, the expat grape vine gets mangled indeed.
There was some footage on Thai TV News tonight with shots of the body of the student diver and the scuba equipment being brought on land. The reporter said that the Instructor hasn't been found yet and that local divers were invited to call a certain local number to join a planned underwater search for him. There was also mentioned that any diver interested in helping should be able to dive to 50 meters depth and that the body of the student diver was found in a channel under a rock at 49 meters deep. It was even suggested that "the authorities" now thought that the Instructor could be stuck under a rock too!
Nothing was said about the victim being found in a shipwreck but it was mentioned that foreign (farang) divers had found the body first.
