Hawaii, U.S

A search has resumed by the U.S Coast Guard to look for a 13 year old who went cliff diving with his friends and never resurfaced. The cliff he dived from was about 15 feet near Hapuna State Beach Park. The authorities have been looking for the boy since Sunday. A dive team was dispatched to search below while the coast guard searched above. He has not been discovered yet. 

Personally, I think this is a case of proposed peer pressure gone wrong. I understand how one can get caught up in adventures and serendipity but he was 13. I still think 13 is the age where you should be supervised by your parents, and as a result, he is missing. I hope someone finds him.

  1. Hopefully someone does find him, and that he didn't get swept away by under-toe or a current.

  2. This incident is really disturbing knowing that this search has been going on for days. I agree with you in saying that 13 years old is a bit young to be doing this, but hopefully he is found soon.

  3. I hope they find him, but it shows that people need to really be careful when doing such things.
