The Police National Dive Squad has this morning recovered two bodies off the southern coast of Otago.
?
While formal identification has not yet taken place, it is believed that the bodies are those of the two Balclutha men reported overdue from their diving trip on Saturday night.
?
Our thoughts are with the families of the two men at this incredibly difficult time.?
?
Police would also like to thank all those - especially the volunteers - who were involved in the search for the two men.?
