My dive team is on stand-by to respond to a missing police officer who disappeared this afternoon while doing helo operations and in Northern VA. Details are sketchy but it appears he went into the water wearing a drysuit and was to be picked up by the chopper. He apparently went under and search operations are underway. Side-scan sonar is being used to attempt to locate him at this time. Hopefully they will be successful very soon. This is going to be a tough one for all his team mates and especially for the family. It is my understanding that he was not diving but was wearing the drysuit on the surface as an exposure suit. I hope this is resolved quickly.
 
Sending thoughts and prayers that direction-- please keep us updated. :hugs:
