A search is continuing this morning for the man who fell out of a boat into the Manukau Harbour.

The 74 year-old hasn’t been seen since he was thrown into the water, when the boat capsized crossing the Manukau Bar on Wednesday.

Police divers have tried an underwater search, but conditions are treacherous with swift currents and very little visibility.

A decision has been taken not to risk any more dives, for safety reasons.
