Search for missing diver north of Christchurch suspended until Monday
A diver is missing off the Canterbury coast. (About 100 Km north of Christchurch)
Emergency services were called to a section of coastline just south of the Hurunui rivermouth at around 11.45am on Sunday.
"A male diver is missing, search and rescue are there trying to locate him," a police spokesman said.
The search area was approximately 11 kilometres north of Motunau Island.
A Westpac rescue helicopter joined the search but had to return to Christchurch to refuel.
More soon.
