NYPD divers searched Sunday afternoon for a swimmer believed to be missing in the water off Rockaway Beach, though the search was eventually called off after the report turned out to be unfounded.
Divers had entered the water near Beach 97th Street and Shore Front Parkway.
A helicopter was seen lowering a diver by a rope into the water.
Now two divers in the water as well off Rockaway, around Beach 87th St. @NBCNewYork @NYTMetro @ABC7NY pic.twitter.com/Ns4XY2lMzg
