Shipwreck diver search called off

Lifeboat and coastguard crews were involved in the search

A search for a diver who went missing while exploring a wreck near the Isle of Mull has been called off, Strathclyde Police have said.

Police divers had been scouring the waters around the sunken vessel, the Rondo, in the Sound of Mull.

Coastguard teams were originally involved in the search for the 41-year-old man, but were stood down.

The diver, who was part of a party from Yorkshire, was reported missing at about 1330 GMT on Sunday.

The search began on Sunday. On Monday, Tobermory lifeboat and the MCA Hawk scoured the area while four local coastguard teams carried out searches on foot around Lochaline.

Strathclyde Police divers continued to search the wreckage on Tuesday, assisted by the MCA Hawk vessel.

The Rondo went down in 1935 after breaking her anchorage in a fierce storm and running aground on a small island.
