Divers will go into the water again this morning at the wreck of the sunken HMNZS Manawanui off the south coast of Upolu in Samoa. Its their eighth day at the wreck since the Manawanui ran aground on the Tafioala Reef and divers from New Zealand Navy and Samoa have been assessing how to stop the three leaks and remove the vessel's fuel tanks.
