21-year-old Cal Poly student, Stefan Wagner, went missing on Friday while swimming with friends at Spooner's Cove near San Luis Obispo.
Dive teams searched the waters for the missing man but did not find him.
Wagner jumped into the water on the north side of Spooner's Cove, which is located south of Morro Bay. Friends tried to get him to come out of the dangerous waters but said he went under and never came back up.
Wagner's family live in Fresno and he was attending Cal Poly where he was a biomedical engineering major.
