The 27-year-old diver was reported missing by other divers who were caught in a riptide off the Monterey County beach Saturday afternoon. The three others were able to make it to shore but one remained missing at 3:50 p.m., according to a statement from the Coast Guard.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the search continued Sunday morning, with additional air units being activated later in the day.
The diver is described as 5-feet-9-inches tall, about 170 pounds, wearing a black wetsuit. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Coast Guard Sector San Francisco command center at (415)-399-3547.
