Advertiser Staff

Emergency responders are in the process of recovering a body from ocean waters off Ka'a'awa on the Windward side of O'ahu.

The body was spotted about 7:15 a.m.

Police believe the body is that of a 38-year-old Hawai'i Kai man who became separated from two diving companions about 10 p.m. Saturday after entering the water from Ka'a'awa Beach.

The Coast Guard, Fire Department and U.S. Marine Corps conducted an extensive search for the diver on Sunday and Monday.

The two other divers said they saw the missing man being swept out to sea before he disappeared.
