The U.S. Coast Guard has updated the search area for those participating in the search for Timothy Obi, a diver who went missing off the coast of Mayport Sunday morning.
WJCT News partner News4Jaxreports the Coast Guard is now asking volunteers to search the areas marked below, Zone 1 and Zone 2. Those areas are west of where Obi went missing, but covering this area provides the best chance at covering the most nautical miles possible.
