Yesterday evening the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Kommetjie was alerted that 22 year old George Lucas had gone missing at sea while free diving with his dive Partner Scott Russell. They were diving off-shore of Noordhoek Beach between Kommetjie and Hout Bay.
Metro Ambulance and Rescue Services dispatched a rescue squad and the SA Police Services dispatched their police dive unit.
NSRI’s Craig Lambinon said that it was just a false alarm as Lucas was already safely on shore waiting for Russell to meet him at the car.
“It appears that the two divers had lost sight of each other and that they may have been looking for each other. They were both safe and no one was injured and no further assistance was required,” said Lambinon.
