Fifteen years after his wife disappeared in Japan's 2011 tsunami, Yasuo Takamatsu is still returning to the waters where she was last seen. The Japanese widower has completed more than 760 dives searching for Yuko, with the BBC World Service following him on his 763rd dive in 2026. Her remains have never been recovered.
The story has resurfaced through a Daily Mail TikTok video, which revisits Takamatsu's extraordinary search and the final message Yuko sent before the tsunami swept her away.
