Divers from the Guardia Civil’s Special Group for Underwater Activities (GEAS) began searching various points in the Bay of Roses on Monday, June 15, 2026, for Adam H.B., a 16-year-old who went missing on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. The teenager disappeared during a jet ski excursion, and his jet ski was later found overturned on Pals beach, approximately 30 kilometers from where he was last seen.

The search efforts have been complicated by conflicting accounts from the individuals involved in the excursion and a significant delay in notifying emergency services. The alert was not raised until 10:45 PM on June 10, 2026, more than two hours after Adam was last seen around 9 PM in the Almadrava and Cala Canyelles area. The Guardia Civil is investigating the circumstances of the disappearance, including whether the minor had parental permission for the activity and why he was on the water after the permitted time.

Initial reports suggested that Adam separated from his group with the intention of rejoining them at Santa Margarita beach. The Firefighters of the Generalitat participated in the search for over two days but concluded their involvement on Saturday, June 13, 2026, after no new leads emerged. The Guardia Civil and Mossos d’Esquadra have continued the search, with the Guardia Civil leading the investigation. One working hypothesis is that Adam may have lost his life jacket and subsequently drowned. The Guardia Civil has also sealed the jet skis belonging to the rental company involved in the excursion as part of their investigation. The family of Adam H.B. has made a public appeal for information, distributing a poster with his description.
