Diver missing off of Provincetown

 

[orion612004]

Does anyone know anything about the diver that went missing off P-Town this morning? It was all over channel 16. I guess the Coast Guard are searching for a missing diver.

looks like it is a solo diver,diving for lobster near race point....strong currents in the area..also I know they typically find them around 70ft

I checked race point beach once. There was a ripping current and you can see that the water dropped down really fast. I can't imagine what it's like down there.

There are a number of divers that make a living lobster diving out there.....Usually a drift dive,but they have sunken toilet bowls from renovated motels. This provides hiding places in otherwise a sandy bottom. I would just hate to drift into a big net and be kept there by a strong current

Diver never surfaced after dive at race point in Provincetown Mass. [very tip of Cape Cod] Area is great for lobster this time of year as they ''migrate'' into Cape Cod Bay. They are abundant and are found just walking along the sand in about 70ft. The big drawback are the currents...some that go over walls and have pulled divers 100s of feet down.
