3 divers went out yesterday to a shallow spot, one of the divers did not came back to the boat, float and gear has not been found, I contacted all agencies, Coast Guard response was inmediate and searched for him all night, close to the spot is the deep drop off, and he could have gone offshore with strong currents, our prayers to finding him alive.

Prayers sent brother Roberto.:( what is the water temp offshore ?
Sincerely Don
-
Hoping for a good outcome. Are sharks a concern in that area?
-
Don
Water is 84F +, but even warm water will
be dangerous if exposed for long enough, this
is his second night. -
What happened Roberto, I mean, what seems the problem was?
-
It is hard to say, we can only speculate, am guessing he had a cramp, or some kind of gear failure and the currents took him out to the drop off, wich is very close, and its blue water from there on.
Am not thinking it was a SWB, since the buoy has not being found, and they were barely in 20-30 feet of water.
This is so sad,that first day, at night when we got to the car to get his phone and
call his parents and wife, is something that breaks your heart, and hoping he might
still be alive , but floating at night in the blue abyss, cold and alone, is so hard. -
Sorry Roberto...two days is tough unless he has a lot of mass:(
Prayers for his family.
Sincerely Don
-
I hope he is found soon in good health. Keep us posted please.
-

It is very sad. Luis called me on saturday night to tell me.
Did the guys told you the current was strong? As far as I'm aware they were diving shallow.
I hope he is found alive somewhere.
-
He was just found aliveeeeeeeeeeee!!!
-
Que bueno ya su familia debe de estar tranquila.
-
Great news, thanks to all that put in the search effort.
-
Like Robert said, after a day and a half and two nights they found him alive, a little messed up from exposure but alive nonetheless. I would like to thank all the local spearos that put a great effort with everything they had from boats, ribs and kayacs along with the authorities who participated in this search along with everybody else who kept him in prayers and wished him well. Is conforting to know that if something like this would happen to you, you know your spearo brothers will do anything in their power to look for you.
-
How far from the original position was he found?
