JACKSONVILLE, Fla — More than 2,500 miles have been covered by land and by air as the Coast Guard searches for missing diver Tim Obi on day four of the search.
A vigil is planned for Tuesday night.
Two of Obi's friends brought coffee and donuts to Mayport Boat Ramp Tuesday morning to greet boaters. They are passing the food out and telling boaters how to help in the search.
Friends and family are also searching the waters. Atlantic Pro Divers shop owner says he is giving four dive tanks to people to use in the search.
Obi is a 37-year-old father of three and a husband. Friends say they've set up a meal train system for the family as they wait for answers. They haven't given up hope.
Coast Guard Captain Mark Vlaun says they know where he went missing and there has been little drift. As of Monday, he says they've been searching for 70 hours.
Tuesday night, a vigil is planned in Obi's honor at the Florida Boulevard beach access at 7:30.
His brother, Ryan Obi, gave this statement to First Coast News.
"We would like to thank the crews from the USCG, JSO, JFRD, FWC, and all the volunteers for their compassion, their professionalism, and their steadfast dedication to finding Timmy. The USCG, in particular, have been absolutely amazing providing detailed daily updates; being available and responsive literally all hours of the day; and bringing real humanity in an inhuman ordeal. We are eternally grateful to all of them."
