A 22-year-old male visitor was in critical condition today after being found under water off Ala Moana Beach Park.

Lifeguards and firefighters began searching the water at about 3:30 p.m. after the victim’s friend reported his friend missing, an Emergency Medical Service report said.

Lifeguards found the victim underwater about 60 to 80 feet from shore and paddled him back to the beach, where first responders performed CPR.

Paramedics took over advanced treatment and took the man to a hospital.
