At 1252 Solent coastguard requested the launch of both the All-weather lifeboat "Voluntary Worker" and inshore lifeboat "Betty and Thomas Moore" to a search for a diver missing from the "Phoenix", a local dive boat that was in the Bracklesham Bay area.
Just before both boats launched the missing diver was found, safe and well, and Solent coastguard contacted the boathouse to stand the crew's down.
