South Korean divers began test dives on Monday morning around the wreck of a tourist boat in which at least seven people died last week, a Reuters cameraman at the scene reported.
The divers were attempting to find a way to the wreck where many of the 21 people still listed as missing from the accident - the worst river tragedy in Hungary in more than half a century - were thought to have been pinned.
