Search Intensifies for Missing Diver in Vouliagmeni

Efforts are intensifying to locate a 34-year-old diver who went missing in the Limanakia of Vouliagmeni after becoming trapped in a 28-meter deep sea well. The man, an experienced pilot and diver, dived in the area with a companion who managed to return to the surface and alert authorities. The rescue operation is challenging due to strong underwater currents and the area's geology, which resembles underwater caves. The diver had special equipment providing him with an additional 3-5 hours of oxygen, as well as an underwater scooter. Searches continue at an intensive pace by the Coast Guard, the Underwater Missions Unit, and specialized cave divers.
