Police divers searching for the bodies of three people washed off Paritutu Rock, on New Plymouth's coast did not find anything on Saturday.

Ten days ago, two 17-year-old students, Stephen Kahukaka-Gedye,and Felipe Melo, were washed off Paritutu Rock, and their instructor Bryce Jordain jumped in to try to save them.

Senior Constable Jeff McGrath, from Taranaki Search and Rescue, says the divers searched the area where the group fell into the water, but nothing was found.
