Rescue teams backed by helicopters were searching on Wednesday for eight divers missing after a freighter and a small boat collided off Rio de Janeiro, authorities said.
Twelve divers on the fishing boat Costa Azul were working on a sewage canal in nearby Barra de Tijuca.
Four of them jumped out of the boat and made it to land after the overnight crash with a Bahamas-registered freighter in Rio's bay, but eight of their colleagues were not accounted for, authorities said.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the crash.
