According to foreign media such as the US Line, a 23-year-old man A, who was enjoying diving with friends on a coast in Morocco in northern Africa on the afternoon of the 20th (local time), was suddenly swept away by waves and disappeared.
Upon receiving the report, the maritime police launched a search in vain.
Two days after the disappearance, unexpected news was delivered.
On the 22nd, a merchant ship heading to Portugal found A in Spanish waters. It was 154km away from the point of disappearance. The crew immediately alerted the police, and a rescue helicopter was dispatched to rescue him and took him to a hospital in Spain's Costa Tropic.
At the time, he was wearing a wetsuit, showing symptoms of hypothermia and dehydration, but he was conscious and miraculously was not life-threatening.
In a police investigation, he stated that he had drifted after being swept away by the sea since the afternoon of the 20th. He explained that he was swept away by a strong current while diving and fell with his friends, and that he was pushed by the current. After being tested at the hospital and recovering his health, he is expected to return to Morocco soon.
