BALDWIN, NY — It's been more than a week since Petros Krommidas went missing — and his family is desperately seeking help to find him.

His mother Maria posted on Thursday on social media seeking the "urgent support" of experienced divers and drone operators to locate "our beloved son." She is specifically seeking the help of a certified diver, a drone operator with aerial or imaging capabilities, or those who might know of someone who can help in that capacity.

Krommidas, 29, was last seen on the evening of April 23 before swimming in Long Beach. Police said his car, phone, wallet, and clothes were spotted near the Allegria Hotel by the boardwalk.

Krommidas, a Nassau County Legislative candidate, lives in Baldwin.

"Please consider volunteering your time and equipment to help find our son," his mother wrote in a flyer. "Your skills could make all the difference. Please focus the search on all neighboring beaches."

His heartbroken mother added, that if the tables were turned, "Our Petros would be out there, looking for you."
