A 52-year-old man has died in a water incident in the Bay of Islands.
It is believed the man was diving at Te Pahi Islands, off the Purerua Peninsula, when he was found unresponsive in the water. He was taken by boat to Doves Bay Marina in Kerikeri Inlet yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the marina about 3.15pm.
Members of the public and emergency services personnel tried to revive the man, but they were unsuccessful, police said.
The Northland Rescue Helicopter was also called to the scene, but was stood down when the man could not be revived.
