MONTEREY, Calif. (AP) — Authorities have suspended the search for a 27-year-old diver who disappeared in rough waters off the central California coast, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The missing man was part of a group of four divers who were caught in a rip current at Fanshell Beach near Monterey on Saturday.
Three divers were able to swim to shore, but a fourth person was unable to get out of the water about 125 miles (201 km) south of San Francisco, the statement said.
A search involving the Coast Guard and US Navy helicopter crews covered 147 square miles (380 square kilometers) with no sign of the diver and was suspended Sunday afternoon pending more information, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
Winds in the area reached 34 mph (55 kph) on Sunday and waves reached eight feet (2.4 meters), the Coast Guard said.
