LAGUNA BEACH, California (15 Sep 2008) — A diver who disappeared off Treasure Island on September 11 is still missing and presumed dead.
Authorities told CDNN that John S. Park, 29, disappeared while free-diving and spearfishing with two friends.
The two other divers told rescue officials they returned to shore but Park never made it.
After searching for about an hour, they called for help and a massive air and sea search was launched.
Assisting in the search were Laguna Beach firefighters and lifeguards, the U.S. Coast Guard, Harbor Patrol, a Newport Beach police helicopter and U.S. Ocean Safety lifeguards.
Sgt. Jason Kravetz of the Laguna Beach Police Department said the search was officially called off on Friday.
