A 29 year old Mozambican man disappeared late yesterday afternoon, off the Port of Portimão on the Arade River, while paddleboarding with a friend.
The alert was given by the man's friend at 18:25 on Thursday evening, and a search by the Institute for Aid to Shipwrecked People (ISN) began and continued until 21:07, when it was suspended due to bad light.
The pair were paddleboarding on the beach next to the fishing dock off the Port of Portimão, when they encountered difficulties in the water.
Searches resumed this morning, with a jet ski and a zebra boat from the Maritime Police, plus a boat from the Portimão Fire Department with six operatives, two of them divers. As yet, the missing man has not been found.
