    The search for a kayaker missing off Wellington's south coast is entering its fifth day

    The search for a kayaker missing off Wellington's south coast is entering its fifth day


    Koyren Campbell hasn't been seen since Sunday.

    The 22-year-old's kayak was found floating in Tarakena Bay, and some of his clothes were found on the seabed there by police divers.

    A huge effort's been underway to find him this week, with Police, the Navy, Airforce, and LandSAR involved in the search.

    Police say the search is continuing this morning with divers back in the water at Tarakena Bay.
