"The search for a 14-year-old diver missing off Devon has been called off. "
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Devon | Teenage diver search called off
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Devon | No sign of missing teenage diver
"When they were 10 metres from the surface, the teenager signalled to his father he was OK, but when the man reached the surface he could not see his son. "
Don't know if the press has got the facts wrong, BBC are usually a bit better than most, but there's no indication of a safety stop, if I were diving with my dive buddy, generally we stop at 5 metres together, and maintain eye contact all the way to the surface, the worse the vis, the closer we watch each other.
Hope he turns up ok, but it doesn't look promising.
