A French woman and a British man have been found safe two and a half days after they went missing while diving off the coast of Malaysia, but the man’s teenage son is still missing, Malaysian police said on Saturday.

Alexia Alexandra Molina, an 18-year-old French woman, and Adrian Peter Chesters, a 46-year-old Briton, were spotted by fishermen in the waters off Pengerang at around 1 a.m. on Saturday (1700 GMT on Friday), Mersing district police chief Cyril Edward Nuing said.
