This probably isn't the right forum for this but mods can move it if they can think of anywhere more appropriate.
My friend's dad went missing 4 months ago in France, where he lived. Car was found (after 3 months!) in car park in the town. The *general* consensus is that he fell into the river running through it, by accident, medical incident or intentional. Police divers have conducted a search with no results.
I wondered whether it would be worthwhile for me (OC but with with lots of gas) and my buddy (CCR) to redo the search. My only concern is that I've never dived a town river and god knows what hazards are in there plus I imagine viz would be shocking. The flip side is that we could spend a lot more time down there than the police divers and with a certain additional level of motivation.
Clearly I don't want to add to casualty list but if there are any ppl familiar with recovery whether this is a reasonable or terrible idea.
There are other *possible* places this man made his demise but it seems most likely that the river is where he is and I'm trying to weigh up whether we'd be an asset of a liability in trying to find him.
Thoughts?
Thx,
John
