WEST VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The Coast Guard is searching the waters off of West Vancouver for a scuba diver.
Capt. Greg Clark with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre says the man has been missing since 5:15 p.m.
"We received a call from a diver saying that they lost contact with their diving partner at about 150 feet depth off of Wytecliff Park," he tells News1130.
"We're searching at this time. We have two Coast Guard vessels on scene and a dive team preparing to dive, probably as we speak. We also have an Air Force helicopter coming form Comox to assist in the surface search as well as provide some illumination for the vessels."
Clark says the dive team will take care of the sub-surface search and the other Coast Guard boat and helicopter will be looking along the shoreline in case the diver came ashore somewhere remote.
