Stewart, 37, went missing on Tuesday after a deepwater dive to retrieve an anchor. His dive partner collapsed after returning to the boat, while Stewart, who signaled he was OK when he surfaced, later disappeared, his parents said. At the time of the incident, Stewart was filming a documentary called Sharkwater: Extinction, which he was aiming to show at the Toronto International Film Festival later this year, his parents said. "We would not still be searching for him if we could not find him alive," said Petty Officer Eric Woodall, a Coast Guard spokesman. Rob Stewart’s 2006 documentary "Sharkwater" was aimed at exposing the shark hunting industry that was feeding demand for fins, a delicacy in Chinese cuisine.
