Tragedy ensued in the waters of Narrows Inlet Sunday afternoon when a female diver from Pender Harbour died in an apparent accident.
Sunshine Coast RCMP became involved with the search of the missing diver around 1:45 p.m. on March 28. Coast guard search and rescue was also dispatched and several boats as well as a helicopter conducted extensive surface searches of the inlet to no avail. At 6 p.m. Sunday evening the search was called off due to darkness and poor weather with the search resuming Monday morning.
Around 2 p.m. Monday afternoon, the RCMP dive team and the RCMP Marine Section on their vessel Lindsay, located the body of the missing diver in the general area where she was last scene by her companion diver.
Police have notified next of kin, but are not releasing the victim's name out of respect to the family.
RCMP and the B.C. Corner Service are continuing to investigate.
