The search for the couple began on the night of their disappearance, with the support of fishermen and professionals linked to nautical activities in the region.
The following day, under the command of the 6th Group of GBMar, around 10 professional divers and 15 students from the Fire Department's Scuba Diving Course participated in the incident, in addition to air support from the FAB (Brazilian Aeronautical Force).

According to reports from those involved to GBMar, the cell phone of one of the victims was located inside the watercraft with a low battery charge.
In addition, the air teams managed to locate, on Monday afternoon (24), part of the motorcycle, which was sunk in the water. This contributed to delimiting the search area more precisely.
According to firefighters, the couple was participating in a get-together with a group of friends on a boat when they decided to take the water trip. The woman and her partner did not say where they were going.
After realizing that their friends had not returned to shore, the group called the maritime emergency, which began the search.
