East London - A search for an American tourist who disappeared while swimming at Mazeppa Bay on the Wild COast will continue on Monday, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.
The man, in his early 20s, went missing on Sunday, said NSRI's East London station commander Geoff McGregor.
He was part of a group from the USA.
"He had apparently entered the rocky near the (Jacaranda) wreck and in the surf, approximately 200m out, he disappeared beneath the waves."
The search was called off on Sunday due to bad light and would resume on Monday morning, said McGregor.
