But the group's chairman John Woulfe says they found no trace of Fungie.

A statement posted by Dingle Sea Safari last night said that the search was being called off in the hope that Fungie has just gone off on an adventure , and if he so chooses will one day return to Dingle.

It ends by saying: 'Wherever you are my friend I hope you are safe and happy and thank you for all the years of joy you have brought to so many people.'
