An underwater search is continuing for a second day to find a man who went into a reservoir at the weekend, police have said.
It is believed he and a woman had gone paddleboarding at Dovestone Reservoir on Saddleworth Moor, with emergency services responding to reports of two people going into the water at around 3.30pm on Sunday.
The woman was rescued and treated by paramedics for non-serious injuries, according to Greater Manchester Police.
