A 54-year-old man apparently drowned while spearfishing off Anaehoomalu Bay Saturday morning, according to the Hawaii Fire Department.

Upon arriving at the public beach, a 10-year-old boy told responders he had been spear fishing with his father and had come ashore because of dive mask problems. The boy said he was watching his father from shore, and noticed he did not surface, according to the department.

Rescue personnel located the victim about 100 yards offshore on the seafloor. The cause of the man’s death is unknown at press time, according to the department.
