The Coast Guard says a search is on for a missing free diver near Maui.

The Coast Guard says the diver is 40-year-old Josh Goodwin. He was last seen on shore in Hana. He was expected to swim out to a friend about 200 yards offshore but never arrived.

Goodwin is 6 feet 2 inches with dark hair. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt.

The Coast Guard is sending a helicopter crew and the crew of the vessel Kittiwake to look for Goodwin. Divers and aircraft from the Maui fire and police departments are also looking.
