A
search operation continued on Thursday for British national Harrison Edward Nada Kantounas, who went missing while swimming at a Bali beach.
The 23-year-old disappeared on Wednesday afternoon, allegedly drowning while swimming at Legian beach in Badung regency.
The incident occurred at around 5 p.m., local time (4 p.m. Jakarta time) when he was swimming with two friends on the beach. A high wave suddenly swept away the missing person. His two friends managed to immediately escape the water, however, Harrison Edward Nada Kantounas went missing.
"Today, we continue the search following Wednesday evening efforts which failed to find him," head of Denpasar Search and Rescue Office, I Nyoman Sidakarya, said.
Sidakarya said that the Denpasar SAR Office received the report on Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. from the beach lifeguard.
Following the report, a SAR operation immediately commenced on Wednesday evening by combing the shoreline, as it was not possible to deploy SAR equipment for water-based operations at night.
“Our initial step was to coordinate with witnesses and other SAR unit. If the man is not found by tomorrow [Friday] morning, we will be able to determine the next plan of action,” he said.
