Part of me still doesn't understand how Breakwater manages to claim so many...
Sunday was rather calm, no?
Probably won't learn any more until and unless the diver is found. Breakwater divers keep your eyes pealed, recovery of the body provides a huge comfort/closure to the family.
I just saw this on the news as the search is being called off. Missing since Sunday afternoon (6-17-2013).
So is there more than one missing diver at the breakwater?Somebody recovered the body Friday 6/14/13 at the breakwater during a rescue class.

The Monterey County Coroner's Office has been called to San Carlos Beach to retrieve a drowning victim who may be the diver reported missing Sunday night.
Contrary to television reports, Monterey police Lt. Leslie Sonné said a positive ID had not yet been made, though it is presumed the man is the missing diver.
"To be honest, I don't know how anybody would be able to make an ID that quickly. I don't know the condition of the body," said Sonne, who had just spoken with a sergeant at the scene who reported the coroner had just arrived.
The drowning victim was discovered by other divers floating in a kelp bed about 30 yards off shore Friday morning. Sonne said he was in diving gear, minus his tanks.
The family of a Marin County man reported him missing Sunday night. Police found his car parked at San Carlos Beach and his flashlight underwater, but could not locate him and called off the search Monday
The KSBW News link in post #1 now goes to an updated story saying: "A diver who went missing in the Monerey Bay in Breakwater Cove Sunday was found dead by two kayakers on Friday" and more.
This one questions that claim, says he was found by divers, and "he was in diving gear, minus his tanks."
