Shark documentary director Rob Stewart missing: Desperate search off Florida

People searching for a missing shark documentary director have appealed for help from "anyone who has access to planes, helicopters, drones or boats".

The post on Facebook adds that they need "anything with night vision capabilities".

Rob Stewart, who directed and narrated Sharkwater, released in 2006, was working on a sequel off the coast of Florida when he disappeared after a deepwater dive to retrieve an anchor.

His parents have said that while Mr Stewart's dive partner collapsed after returning to the boat, Mr Stewart, who had signalled that he was OK after getting back to the surface, later disappeared.

His father, Brian Stewart, said his son was "super fit" and that "if anybody can survive in the water, it is him".

"A bunch of the people in the boat gave their attention to the guy who collapsed and a minute later they turned, and Rob was gone. They haven't seen him since," Mr Stewart added.
