Lieutenant Colonel William González Hernández, head of the Civil Defense in Matanzas, explained to TV Yumurí that around one in the afternoon last Monday, the young man along with his girlfriend was near the coast where they practiced underwater fishing. After the third dive he did not return to the surface, so his girlfriend sought help.
The rescuers of the Fire Department searched with their five divers throughout the afternoon for the boy. “Due to inclement weather and the night, the search was postponed until Tuesday, when we found the body 400 meters from the north coast and 37 meters deep.”

The Civil Defense system and the authorities of the province of Matanzas mourn the death and convey condolences and condolences to his family and friends.
