Tomorrow our dive team will put

SEVU cameras to the test again by using the 150's for an underwater search in a murky Central Texas Lake. The team has been called by the Comal County Sheriff's Department specifically for the search with underwater cameras. We hope to find the missing boat and boater with the SEVU cameras before putting divers into the water. This is an area loaded with underwater trees and fishing lines.

Here is the story in the press:

CANYON LAKE — A 24-year-old San Antonio man was missing and feared drowned in a boating accident on Canyon Lake Thursday afternoon.

Comal County Sheriff’s Patrol Sgt. Jimmy Limmer said deputies, firefighters and rangers were dispatched to the lake at 3:13 p.m. after a woman telephoned the county’s 9-1-1 dispatch to report that the boat she was in was sinking.

“The only information we got before her cell phone got wet and went out was that she could see the dam,” Limmer said. “That takes in most of the lake.”

Canyon Lake Fire/EMS Chief Shawn Wherry said the lake had three-foot waves and whitecaps and were being whipped by a 45-mph wind at the time of the accident.

Searchers scanned the lake from Overlook Park and the top of the dam, but could see no one in the water and no capsized boat, Wherry and Limmer said.

The New Braunfels Fire Department sent a boat and crew and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also participated in the search.

At 6:16 p.m., Limmer said, two men in their 20s who had been on the boat walked in to the gate house at Comal Park.

They told officials that a woman was stranded along the cliffs and loose rock area some distance from Comal Park.

New Braunfels firefighter Darren Brinkkoeter found her, Wherry said.

All three victims were suffering from hypothermia. The woman, whom Wherry said had a body temperature of 95 degrees, was taken to McKenna Memorial Hospital for treatment and was later released.

Limmer said hope was waning as nightfall approached that the fourth victim would be found alive.

“We have one male who is missing and is feared drowned,” the sergeant said.

Rescue and recovery efforts were suspended at dark and would resume this morning, Limmer said.
