Two Britons have disappeared off the coast of Mexico following a hurricane.
The pair, believed to be Paul Whitehouse and Simone Wood, were reported missing on Friday after their yacht overturned in the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.
They are reportedly a couple from Wolverhampton and London.
Mexican marines and sailors are taking part in a search operation.
Mr Whitehouse is believed to be a scuba instructor living in the city of La Paz.
The pair were believed to be living on their yacht in La Paz for around a year.
A spokeswoman for the UK Foreign Office said: "We are in touch with the local authorities and are providing consular assistance to the families at this difficult time."
The hurricane left a trail of destruction The British Embassy in Mexico has advised UK nationals in Baja California and Baja California Sur, the areas affected by the hurricane, to leave through Los Cabos International Airport.
Hurricane Odile left a trail of destruction when it hit last Sunday, causing the evacuation of around 18,000 tourists.
The hurricane affected power and water supplies, as well as phone services, triggering widespread looting.
Power has been restored to around one-fifth of people in the resort cities of Los Cabos, with 200 electricity workers dispatched to the area.
