When the police arrived, they found the body of a male floating in the water. It was clad in a yellow shirt, black shorts, orange goggles, and a green and black diving fin.
The police also found a spear gun affixed to a length of line, which was attached to the body of the deceased.
The man was pronounced dead by a doctor and a team from the Police Area Two Technical Services Division processed the scene.
