The search for a missing 59-year-old man from Arizona continues off the coast of ‘Anini Beach, with the recovery efforts rolling into their third day. Various agencies, including Hanalei firefighters, ocean safety officers, Kaua‘i police, the U.S. Coast Guard, KFD’s on-duty battalion chief, and volunteers from Kaua‘i Search and Rescue, are actively involved in the operation, as per an update from the Kauai government website. The man went missing during a snorkeling trip on Sunday and was last noticed near the back channel of ‘Anini Beach at around 11:45 a.m.

After the man’s group realized he had not returned to shore shortly after 12:15 p.m., the search was immediately initiated. Monday’s efforts yielded no results, and teams resumed combing the waters early yesterday morning, facing challenges with ocean currents and visibility.

Authorities have not released new details about the search since it resumed yesterday, leaving families and communities anxious. The continued search shows the team’s determination to find the missing swimmer despite the challenges posed by the sea. Further updates on the search will be provided as soon as they become available.
