This is a very challenging operation.
Rescue services say they have teams of specialist divers who are used to working in small, cramped quarters. The depth of the shipwreck is proving a big challenge.
They have also been hampered, we’ve been told, by the fact that the boat is lying on its side and the access points are choked with debris, so it’s very difficult to gain access to the yacht itself.
What we understand is that they want today to try and get into a cabin where some of the missing may have been sleeping.
The rescue services know that with every passing hour, the chances of finding people still alive is diminishing.
However, in the words of one rescue worker, never say never.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Well that would be an awfully long time to hold one’s breath.
