MERSING: The chances of finding three more missing foreign divers alive and safe in the waters of Pulau Tokong Sanggol here are high, says Mersing district police chief Supt Cyril Edward Nuing.

He said the confidence was based on the experience of the three missing divers, apart from them being properly equipped with diving gear and supplies for training before they were reported missing.
