Four foreign divers found safe after going missing off Samae San

Four foreign divers, led by British diver Gary Philips, went missing during a technical diving exercise off Samae San in Chonburi on 14 August. The Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Center Region 1 was alerted at 16:35 after the captain of a boat carrying the group reported that they had failed to return from a dive near Ko Rong Khon and Ko Rong Nang.

Despite challenging conditions, including strong currents due to a low tide, all four divers were found safe on Friday night after reaching Nam Sai Beach. The divers, who were instructors and students, had been expected to return to a rendezvous point at 15:15 but did not surface as scheduled.
