A search will resume at first light on Monday for a scuba diver who disappeared off Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula.
The woman, 42, of Preston, failed to surface from a dive on the SS Coogee shipwreck about 3.30pm (AEST) on Saturday.
An extensive air, sea and shore search has failed to find the woman, who had more than 50 logged dives.
Police have admitted it is unlikely the woman is still alive.
Dive Victoria charter operator Jason Salter said the woman vanished during her second dive of the day on the 30-metre-deep Coogee, in an area known as the Ships’ Graveyard, just outside the heads of Port Phillip Bay.
He said the surface conditions were flat and calm when the diver disappeared but the undercurrent could have swept her out to sea.
