A search is set to continue this morning for a man said to have been seen on the reef known as Sikka l-Bajda off Mellieha.
Divers reported having seen the corpse of a young man yesterday afternoon. According to reports he had ID documents showing he was a 26-year-old African.
An initial search was carried out by an AFM patrol boat yesterday but efforts were abandoned because of the rough sea and, later, gathering darkness.
