BUENA VISTA TWP., N.J. — A large multi‑agency search effort remains underway after a man went missing while swimming in a remote quarry off Cains Mill Road in Buena Vista Township on Sunday evening.

Authorities were called to the water around 5:30 p.m. after witnesses reported that the swimmer went under and did not resurface. The New Jersey State Police quickly took command of the investigation, with additional rescue crews joining the search through Sunday night and into Monday. Officials have not yet released the man’s identity.

The quarry, located in a rural stretch of Atlantic County, is known for deep water, steep drop‑offs, and limited visibility — factors that can complicate search and rescue operations. Crews have been using boats, sonar, and specialized dive teams as they continue to comb the area.

As of the latest update, authorities have not provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. The search remains active, and officials say they will continue operations until more information is known.

Residents in the region have expressed concern and support for the ongoing efforts, hoping for answers as crews work tirelessly in challenging conditions.
