The group, including two instructors, left yesterday morning on a boat they hired for a dive around mangroves in Crystal Bay when strong winds and heavy rains hit the area, said Maj. Nyoman Suarsika, chief of Nusa Penida police.
Rescuers today found the body of a woman, Bali police spokesman Col. Hariadi said. He did not elaborate.
A list provided by police shows the group included one man and six women.
The search for the missing involved police, the National Search and Rescue Agency and fishermen, guided by the two Indonesian skippers from the divers' boat.
