Overview
- Police say the man did not return from a dive at the Allmannshauser Steilwand and has been missing since the outing on Saturday.
- Authorities report the dive lasted about half an hour and the missing diver entered the water with two friends who raised the alarm when he did not surface.
- Rescue teams are searching from the air with a police helicopter, scanning with drones and conducting surface operations but have not found the man.
- The dive site features a near-vertical underwater wall that reaches roughly 85 meters while sport diving is legally limited to 40 meters, and the location has a history of accidents.
- Cold deep water and the steep drop make searches harder and may prolong recovery efforts, and authorities say the case remains an active, developing operation.
