The article mentions them picking up 5 local divers. Does anyone know if these were Coast Guard divers or did they just pick up 5 recreational civilian divers to assist?
Oh dear...They said the guy was diving a rebreather.
And, according to subsequent reports, the boat was diving on the Schurz (http://www.olympusdiving.com/north-carolina-diving/nc-wreck-diving/schurz/), and the search was ended by the Coast Guard on Saturday afternoon (http://www.jdnews.com/news/local/coast-guard-ends-search-for-missing-diver-1.339481), without success.I was on a dive boat yesterday out of Morehead city. . . . They said the guy was diving a rebreather. . . . There were very strong currents. . . . His buddy descended to the bottom but the guy never made it to the bottom. . . . That is all anyone seems to know.
