Search for missing Philippine dive boat passengers extends to Indonesian waters

Meanwhile, the Philippine Navy Jacinto-class corvette BRP Artemio Ricarte has been conducting patrols off Sarangani province to attempt to locate any sign of the missing dive boat or its occupants.

Amejara had sailed out of the municipality of Governor Generoso in Davao Occidental province with 11 divers and four crewmembers at around 13:00 local time on January 19. Just hours later, however, the boat capsized in the Davao Gulf due to strong winds and rough waves.
