Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer is among those missing, along with UK tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, as Italian authorities continue to search the wreckage of the luxury yacht that sank during a storm off the coast of Sicily.

Specialist divers from Palermo’s fire and rescue service told local media that search operations resumed Tuesday morning. Firefighters said gaining access to the yacht, which is 48 meters (157.5 feet) below the surface, was “complex”.
