The team was called out to search for a diver who had failed to surface on Wastwater. The team searched the water’s edge on foot and the lake using the team boat as part of a multi-agency response. The team boat was used overnight and on Monday to assist the Police Diving Unit. The search had to be suspended late on Monday afternoon as weather conditions deteriorated. Our thoughts are with the diver’s family and friends.
Incident started at 15:10.
