On the 18th, two men who were diving off the coast of Taketomi Town, Okinawa Prefecture, went missing. The Japan Coast Guard searched and found one person, but he was confirmed dead. The search for the remaining person continues. According to the Japan Coast Guard, at around 12:30 p.m. on the 18th, two passengers who were drift diving went missing off the coast of Iriomote Island in Taketomi Town, although they were scheduled to surface an hour earlier. The incident was reported by a person involved in diving. The Japan Coast Guard and fire department searched and found one person about two hours after the report, but he was found unconscious and dead. The search for the remaining person continues. Drift diving is an advanced method of diving and moving underwater while being carried by the current. In Okinawa, an accident occurred in June of this year in which seven people went missing off the coast of Itoman City, and the Japan Coast Guard reported that the rope connecting the instructor to the float floating on the sea surface came loose and the divers were lost. Assuming that this was the cause of the accident, we are instructing the two companies to take measures to prevent recurrence, such as establishing a means of communication.
