Four Americans have joined in on the search for three missing divers in Puerto Vallarta. The professionals were brought in after the Jalisco Secretary of Government determined that the Mexican diving team wasn't capable of diving to sufficient depths for an adequate search
On December 1, Alejandro Tovar García and Adán Ulises Sánchez Mayorga, both members of the Puerto Vallarta Civil Protection Service and Sergio Lopez Gomez an employee of a local Televisa station were participating in an advanced diving course in Cañon de Diablo. The three men did not resurface after diving in an area that is more than 1,000 meters deep. Before the Americans were flown in, the search party already included members of the Civil Protection Service, local PADI dive instructors and a local parachuting organization that provided boats for the operation. As of Wednesday the underwater search covered the area from Los Arcos to Mismaloya beach. |
