SINGAPORE – The search for two divers, including a Singaporean man, who went missing during a dive in Palau on Sept 7 has been called off after five days, local media reported.
The search for the pair, identified as Singaporean Tan Soon Liang, 62, and Chinese national Xiaowi Wu, 43, ended on Sept 11 without a successful recovery, Palauan news outlet Island Times reported on Sept 14.
