We'll go ahead and stage two divers. {reply} Confirming, you're ready for us? {response} Yeah, that's affirmed.

Let's go ahead and 22 (never-mind) this one right now; if we don't come up with something else we can come back to it later, go ahead and GPS it. {Transcriber note: Sounds like sonar located something else, that is not the body.}

Per KBHR website, the search for the drowning victim was suspended at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon and will resume at 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning. {Transcriber note: This is presumably due to the extremely high volume of boat traffic on the lake for the holiday and fireworks display this evening.}

OK, it looks like we're gonna open up the north side, and close down the south.

This is slightly south of our GPS from yesterday. Looks like we're going to have to open up the north (side) and close down the south (side) now. It's about 200 yards further south from where we were yesterday.

Okay, we just dropped a blue marker buoy; this is the location they (the subjects with the victim) are adamantly sure that they were, so we need to move the perimeter further out.

"How's the (launch) ramp traffic looking right now?" "Insane." 
Sat 7/4 Source: scanner
