Please attribute to Sergeant Tod Hollebon:
At approximately 1:45pm today Police received a report that a diver had been recovered unresponsive from the water near Bauza Island, Doubtful Sound.
The report came from a boat on the water in the same area.
A distress call was sent out and a second nearby vessel responded as they had a doctor on board.
The doctor performed CPR on the unresponsive diver but unfortunately he did not survive.
