Rescue crews Saturday morning will resume the search for a diver reported missing off Waikiki this afternoon.
Fire department Capt. Frank Johnson said the search was suspended at nightfall. Personnel had been searching off the Hale Koa Hotel for a free diver who was reported missing at 3:40 p.m.
The missing man was one of five people who went diving from a private boat today. Four people returned to the boat and reported the missing diver.
"We were told he was about two miles offshore," Johnson said.
Rescue divers, the fire department and police department helicopters, the Coast Guard and employees of Atlantis Submarines participated in the search.
