Sea and air search for diver to resume today

Reinhardt Teschke, 54, from Germany, was part of a three-man team which dived yesterday on the wreck of the Minnehaha, which lies in about 90m of water, about 20km south of Cape Clear.

Only his two dive companions returned to the charter boat Holly Jo. The boat’s skipper, Colin Barnes, who operates out of Reen Pier in Castletownsend, said he raised the alarm at about 5.30pm once it became clear that Mr Teschke was overdue.
