BUSINESSMAN Boyet Lim was rescued on Friday, October 14, according to his daughter Denise.

Denise said that Lim, owner of Toyota Davao Showroom, was found at around 5:52 a.m. somewhere between Sigaboy and Talikud, not Santa Cruz, Talikud as was reported earlier.

Denise also said that her father was not holding his catch. "He used it as weight to prop up his surface diver balloon so that both of the diver and balloon may be visible to the rescuers," she said.

Lim was reported to be with his two bodyguards while scuba diving at Sitio Bagacay, Barangay Cogon, Talikud Island, Island Garden City of Samal (Igacos), Davao Del Norte on October 11.

After an hour, he did not appear on the surface.

The authorities alerted the maritime group and floating assets while the search operation were also conducted in nearby resorts and shorelines. (RJC)
