As the search for the missing 10 people of the fishing boat Venus, which sank off Jeju Island, continues for five days, it is predicted that it will take at least a week to deploy deep-sea divers.

The Coast Guard predicted that it would take at least a week to remove the net connected to the hull and fix the barges of private rescue companies in order for deep-sea divers from private rescue companies to be deployed.

The net has risen from the sunken hull to a depth of 35m.

The Navy and the Coast Guard explained that R.O.V., a remote-controlled underwater robot that showed results, will be deployed four times today (12th) rather than a deep-sea diver.

Whether to deploy deep-sea divers is expected to be decided after consultation between the Navy, the Coast Guard, and private rescue companies.

The 129-ton Busan-registered Venus, which had 27 crew members on board, sank 22 kilometers northwest of Biyangdo Island on Jeju Island in the early morning of the 8th, killing 4 people and missing 10 others.
