Police are appealing to the public to keep an eye out for scuba equipment, as they investigate the sudden death of a man in waters off Double Island Point on Friday, June 28.
A 54-year-old Gold Coast man died while on a commercial dive charter at the Wolf Rock dive site just after 11am.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.
The man’s dive equipment, including a black buoyancy control vest and white air tank, was left in the water at the site.
Police believe the currents may push the items north and they could possibly wash up on the northern area of Inskip Point or on an eastern beach on K’Gari.
If anyone locates these items on the beach, please leave them alone and contact police.
If they are found in the water, the public is being urged to retrieve them, and inform police.
