Diver found dead off island of Mykonos

Diver found dead off island of Mykonos

Members of the Hellenic Navy's Underwater Demolitions Unit were on Tuesday attempting to retrieve the body of a 43-year-old diver who was discovered by other divers off the Platys Gialos beach on the island of Mykonos.

The 43-year-old had been a member of the crew of the British-flagged Sea Dragon vessel which had been doing dives in the area.

Two non-professional divers found him on Monday after he went missing. However in their attempt to retrieve him, one of the divers experienced a problem that led them to abort the rescue attempt, surface and contact the authorities.
