A middle-aged man has died after a diving accident in the Hauraki Gulf off Auckland today.
The man was diving with friends and family off the coast of Little Barrier Island when he failed to surface as expected, Inspector Anthony Edwards, of northern police communications, said.
He was later located and medical attention provided, but he died before reaching shore.
The man's body had been taken to Auckland Hospital and the matter would be reported to the coroner.
