Rescue crews are still searching for a man who jumped off of a boat on Lake Lanier Saturday and didn’t resurface.

The man disappeared between the Holiday Marina and Van Pugh South around 2 p.m.

Crews used SONAR to try to find the victim over the weekend. Official said the lake is 60 - 80 feet deep in that area and is high traffic with choppy water.

On Monday, Game Wardens are continuing to search by SONAR . Wardens said that deep water and standing timber are making the search difficult.
