A DIVER reported missing off the east coast of Jura last week was found alive.
Islay’s all-weather lifeboat was called out on Friday (September 8) to help locate the man. The Helmut Schroder of Dunlossit 11 launched at 1pm and arrived near Nine Foot Rock, east of Lowlandman’s Bay, at 1.45pm.
However, the rescue helicopter had already located the diver who made his way to shore and was assisted up the steep and rocky hill by the local coastguards.
