Ongoing search for missing snorkeller, Dorset
A search being coordinated by the UK Coastguard for a missing snorkeller is due to resume later this morning (11th July) along the Dorset coast.
The
extensive search began last night after a call was received from a
fisherman around 9pm reporting that he had found something on the
shoreline at Ringstead Bay, five miles east of Weymouth, Dorset.
It was also reported that a snorkeller had been seen earlier in the day in the water.
Wyke
and Lulworth Coastguard Rescue Teams went to the scene and confirmed
that there were personal effects on the beach. A car belonging to the
missing man was nearby.

The
Coastguard Rescue teams along with HM Coastguard search and rescue
helicopter from Lee-on-Solent, two lifeboats from Weymouth and one from
Swanage have been conducting the search overnight along with Dorset
Police.
Mr
Ley added: ‘The search will resume again later this morning after crew
rest but in the meantime if anyone has information that can help us with
finding this man, or if it is you and you are safe, please call 999 and
ask for the Coastguard.’
