The U.S. Coast Guard announces that commercial divers from Donjon Marine Company who were diving on the capsized Seacor Power lift boat recovered two more unresponsive people on Friday.

"Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends and loved ones of everyone involved in this tragic incident," said Capt.
Will Watson, commander of Coast Guard Sector New Orleans. "We are using every asset available to us to continue our search efforts."


The Coast Guard says divers returned to the scene Friday morning to conduct an assessment and to begin dive operations. The divers had to stop diving mid-morning due to dangerous weather conditions but resumed diving operations again at approximately 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Dive operations are scheduled to continue throughout Friday evening, weather permitting according to Coast Guard officials.

At this time the Coast Guard has not released the names of those rescued, recovered, or missing. This is the fourth day of search and rescue efforts.
