The guy was spear fishing alone off Starkey and didn't return. Today the S&R folks are using sonar.

Sorry to hear this, hopefully they'll find him soon.

I wondered where. I heard about it and a nieghbor saw the sheriff pontoon going out Saturday, but didn't know where exactly. Always curious what happens with something like this.

I thought he was down visiting a friend and a group of them were out?

Depends on which tv station you listen too. Today The 5 news said he was with another diver. His buddy is the one who called for help.

Yeah the story in the paper says he was out with a buddy who saw him go down and never come back up.

Any word if this guy was found? Guess it is the circle of life, he used to eat fish.

Last I heard the searchers were going out again today. No further reports.

News reports were they were waiting till tomorrow for a special dive team to come in.

I can't believe they haven't found him yet. Either the search area is too large, or he wasn't where they thought he was.

If they call off the search, someone will find him eventually (unfortunate to them). I know I wouldn't want to find a corpse while I was fishing. Especially if I was trying to get my bait back and found him. Sorry to sound cold on this. Just creeps me out. I've never been around something like that and don't want to start now.

I hope they find him for his family's sake....

My guess is that his lungs filled with water after he passed out from free diving and he sank to the bottom or floated slowly while the current drifted him further than anticipated. Still.......surprised sonar hasn't picked him up yet.

Jason where he is suppose to be is NASTY SNARL with cedars and all kinds of junk in the trees. I have tried scanning the area an its a mess. Visability at 40ft is almost nothing on the camera. Im really not surprised.
