SAR flew overhead of me about 3pm today while i was a few miles north of Cozumel. Moments ago I was contacted by SAR to notify me that they launched from Chetumal at 2pm today with an airplane utilizing the most sophisticated technology possible for locating people lost at sea. I'm told the plane can stay airborne for up to 8 hours before needing to refuel. That should be 6-7 hours of search time. Let's hope this is a successful mission.

Attached photo Devember, 2018 is of

Cameron Donaldson with his mom, Bonnie. They love shore diving and this was "up north" as well. I have lived here in Cozumel for over 9 years (diving here since 1983), but this was the first day that I met and spoke with Cameron. He was showing me the scooter that they used that day. Coincidentily, I just returned two weights to him Friday night, that had been barrowed by the other lady in the photo that day. I do not know him well, but what a fine young man he seems to be. I do not pray often, but today, Yes....to the powers greater than us for his safe return.

Donated.

 

[duffer48]

Yep...done. They are up to 19K now. Lots more will be needed if he isnt found soon.

I wish I could help other than money. Cameron is one of the "Good Guys". I'll make it a point to meet him my next trip to Cozumel. How positive is that? Keep floating, Cameron. We're coming.

I feel the same. He probably knows me as well as anyone, and that's saying something. I don't let many people know me. I feel pretty darn useless right now. I have extensive land based SAR experience, but not much water-related. Would be on a plane in a heartbeat to help if I had the resources to do so.
