A man whose wife was lost in japan's 2011 tsunami still goes diving to find her body 11 years later

Описание: Yasuo Takamatsu has spent more than 10 years looking for his wife Yuko's remains in order to lay her to rest. The search began after the Japan tsunami in 2011 which affected the area of Fukushima.

His wife Yuko Takamatsu, 47, was working at the Onagawa branch of 77 Bank when the tidal wave hit the city.
The manager of the Onagawa bank branch received a tsunami warning that predicted waves of only 6 meters.
He then gave the order to evacuate to the roof of the building, which was about 10 meters high.
Unfortunately, the wave that hit the bank was much higher than expected, estimated at between 15 and 17 meters. It swept away 12 of the 13 employees, including Yuko.

Now in the years since, Takamatsu dives weekly and has done for over a decade to see if he can find her body.

After searching on land for two and a half years, the then-56-year-old started taking diving lessons in September 2013. While he didn't find learning to dive easy, the devoted husband has explained that he's motivated by wanting to find her body.

In an interview for short film 'The Diver', Takamatsu explained: "I do want to find her, but I also feel that she may never be discovered as the ocean is way too vast - but I have to keep looking.
