HAWI (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaii County Fire officials located a body floating in the waters off Hawaii Island Sunday.

Officials responded to the shoreline off Hawi, on the northern tip of the island.

Details are limited at this time, but officials reported locating the body of a diver in the water as a shark circled it just before noon Sunday.

Crews reportedly made various attempts to retrieve the body, but were unable to bring it to shore.

Officials are reportedly treating it as a missing persons case at this time.

Hawaii News Now has reached out to other Hawaii County officials and we are awaiting a response.
