While the search continues for three missing Cubans, a US National was safely pulled out of Belizean waters, also near Caye Caulker. Four men set out on a snorkeling expedition on Saturday. Fifty-five year old American, Jack Burnette, who now resides in San Pedro, took his friends Kenneth Cox, Gary Paumgargmar and Eric Resse, to experience the underwater wonders one mile north of Caye Caulker. They arrived at one p.m. and when the group returned to the boat forty minutes later, Resse was nowhere to be found. But at ten minutes after twelve the following afternoon, after almost twenty-four hours, Resse walked into the Caye Caulker Police Station and reported that he was rescued by a tour guide from mangroves near The Split in Caye Caulker. Resse was medically examined and is in good health.
