COLUMBIA, S.C. — Dive teams from South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) were again out on Lake Murray for a second day conducting a search for a missing diver.
The diver was reported missing near the towers at the dam on Lake Murray around 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28, says DNR spokesman Stephen Fastenau.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is assisting in the search, loaning a remote operated underwater vehicle (ROV) that allows rescue teams to penetrate the murky waters near the dam. The area being searched has a depth of more than 100 feet, according to Fastenau.
Newberry County Rescue is also aiding in the search.
