High current day, dense fog, highly advanced dive site, possibly no smb in diver's posession, bad wind and chop day, low underwater vis day, possibly inexperienced diver(s)

Diver could have ditched tanks /reg and swam for shore at some point. 1 knot * 4 hours = 4 miles. Add the wind wave current and you might double that speed.

Ask yourself, "How many times have I called a dive?"
