Coast Guard Suspends Search for Drake Sweet

The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for Drake Sweet, a 36-year-old freediver who went missing 69 miles west of Naples, Florida, on March 13th, after covering 4,275 square miles without success. Despite the suspension, Sweet's family is organizing a private search, raising over $107,000 through GoFundMe for continued efforts using sonar technology and expert divers. Meanwhile, another search is underway for 24-year-old Jack Levine, who also went missing after failing to resurface from a dive two miles off Pompano Beach. The Coast Guard is actively searching for Levine by air and water and has requested public assistance. Both cases highlight the challenges and risks associated with diving, prompting extensive search and rescue operations by authorities and families. These incidents underscore the importance of safety measures and the community's role in supporting search efforts.
