The 40-year-old German woman reported missing after she failed to return from her diving group trip in ‘Eua on Sunday, has been identified by Police.
Her
name was Marina Trost from Munich, Germany.
Earlier, police said
they were coordinating the search with assistance from local
boats, divers and New Zealand and Australian authorities in the area but Trost has not been seen since.
She was part of a whale-watching
group that visited a cave on the northern tip of the island.
The
location is known to divers as the Cathedral.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
