Police divers were back at sea on Monday, September 29, two days after a Delft teenager went missing in Bakoven, south-west of Camps Bay.
Camps Bay police are investigating the disappearance of Nafees Isaacs, 18, from Delft, who was reported missing early on Saturday, September 27.
Sergeant Wesley Twigg said they had been called in to search between Camps Bay and Llandudno at the weekend, but the search was called off on Sunday, September 28, in the afternoon due to weather conditions.

According to the Daily Voice, Nafees went with a group of his friends and his sister to the beach.
He reportedly went on a toilet break when he slipped and fell down the rocks and has since not been found.

According to National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesman Craig Lambinon, the teen possibly slipped off rocks into the water during the incoming high tide.
He was with a group of young adults at the rocks.
"Shoreline patrols and investigations along rocks and in the area around Bakoven revealed no signs of the teenager, where it became increasingly evident that he may have slipped off rocks into the water during the incoming high tide," he said.
Mr Lambinon said that the police, Water Policing and Diving Services (WPDS), law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), Metro Rescue, an EMS Metro Rescue drone unit, and NSRI Bakoven rescue swimmers attended the scene on Saturday, conducting extensive search efforts, supported by the NSRI Bakoven rescue craft Gemini Legend that was launched to assist in the search.
"Despite extensive air, sea, and shoreline search efforts, there remains no sign of the missing teenager," said Mr Lambinon.
