Porticello: Divers returned to the sea Friday in search of UK tycoon Mike Lynch's teenage daughter, the last person missing after their boat sank off Sicily killing the businessman and five others.

Italy's fire service said sea dives resumed in the early hours, continuing days of complex operations to recover bodies after the superyacht sank during a sudden storm before dawn on Monday.

"The long and delicate search operations for the last missing person continue," the service said on social media Friday.

Lynch, a celebrated technology entrepreneur and investor, had invited friends and family onto the sailing boat "Bayesian" to celebrate his recent acquittal in a massive US fraud case.

But as the 56-metre (185 feet) British-flagged yacht was anchored off Porticello, near Palermo, it was struck by a waterspout -- akin to a mini-tornado -- during a storm.
