Body never found. After she ran into difficulties and was brought to the surface by the dive master and left there to be picked up by the dive boat and the dive master then left to rejoin the main group, she may have recovered and felt well enough to continue, then foolishly dived back and tried by herself to locate and rejoin the group, ran into difficulties again and this time there was no one to help her. She lost consciousness, drowned then her body got carried away by the currents.

"She's like a female version of Bear Grylls," added Ms Pan, referring to the British adventurer and survival instructor.
Ms Pan,35, said her aunt is an active lady who is "very fit" and is heavily involved in different sports such as cycling, rock climbing and dragon boating.
"She's super strong, physically and mentally...She can survive this."
Typical delulu sheltered sinkie whose only exposure to the elements is the nearby ActiveSG swimming pool. Hit the gym a few times a week, join some weekend dragonboat team and they think they're in the same league as an SAS operator (Bear Grylls wasn't even a bone fide SAS man by the way; he was only in the reserves.)
Anyway, the auntie's body was eventually found by a stroke of luck by locals, but not the uncle's body sadly. Uncle and auntie's double-seater kayak likely capsized in rough weather and rough seas, then they didn't know how to extricate themselves and didn't know any capsize drill due to poor preparation, so they became disorientated and panicked and quickly drowned in the rough seas, their life jackets notwithstanding. Their kayaking "bros" didn't bother to look for uncle and auntie either until (what 12 hours later?) because it was already dark.
Respect nature; the sea and the ocean laugh at your superb ability to swim and at your ironman triathlon medals.
