A 26-year-old British tourist, Alexandra Clarke, is missing after a fire broke out on the Davy Jones Locker diving boat off Koh Tao, Thailand. The fire started in the engine room while the boat was five to six nautical miles from the island. While other passengers were safely evacuated, Clarke was reportedly in the bathroom at the time. Efforts to rescue her have been complicated by dangerous sea conditions and the ongoing investigation into the fire's cause by Thai authorities.
The Davy Jones Locker was reportedly transporting tourists from Koh Tao, a small island that forms part of the Chumphon Archipelago, to a nearby diving site at South-west Pinnacle.
Capt Natthaphon Sinpoonphon reported that the engine room, captain's cabin, and rear restroom were damaged. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.
