Bad weather has called off an underwater search for a woman who did not surface from a crayfish dive yesterday .
Five members of the police national dive squad this morning carried out two searches at the location where the missing 37-year-old diver was last seen.
The search site is located off Motunau beach, east of Greta Valley in North Canterbury, at a depth of about 10 metres.
But at about 1pm, weather conditions and an underwater visibility of no more than 1 metre made it unsafe for them to continue.
Canterbury Police search and rescue hopes to continue the underwater search tomorrow if the weather improves.
