The Hawai‘i Fire Department responded to a call about a swimmer in trouble on Friday, May 17, 2019, off the shore of Onekahakaha Beach Park.

Upon arrival at 8:49 p.m., a male in his was found unresponsive in shallow tidal flats fronting Onekahakaha Beach Park.
Several persons were night diving when one of the divers reported having difficulty breathing.
