A British man and teenager are among four people who have gone missing while diving off the coast of a Malaysian island.
The 46-year-old man and 14-year-old boy were taking part in a training exercise off Pulau Tokong Sanggol, nine miles away from the coastal town of Mersing.
A 35-year-old woman from Norway and an 18-year-old French woman also went missing.
Malaysia's Maritime Enforcement Agency launched a search and rescue operation on Wednesday afternoon, but it was suspended that evening due to poor visibility.
It was restarted on Thursday morning.
The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is in contact with the resort the Britons were staying at and have offered consular assistance.
It has not yet received a request for assistance but stands ready to support the family of the Britons who went missing.
Malaysia's borders were closed for more than two years during the pandemic, and only reopened at the start of the month.
More than 55,000 tourist entered Malaysia in the first four days after the border opened, officials said.
