Police search underway for scuba equipment after diver’s death in Queensland

Police said his death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.

The diver’s equipment, which includes a black buoyancy control vest and white air tank, was left in the water off Double Island Point.

“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,” Queensland Police said in a statement.

“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.”
