Police seek help to find scuba gear in death probe

Police are asking for the public's help to find scuba equipment that might have drifted along a wide stretch of Queensland's southeast coast as they investigate the death of a scuba diver.

A 54-year-old Gold Coast man died suddenly while on a commercial scuba dive at the Wolf Rock dive site off Double Island Point just after 11am on Friday.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious and are preparing a report for the coroner.

The man's diving equipment, which included a black buoyancy control vest and white air tank, was left in the water and police believe it could have drifted north.

Currents might have pushed the equipment to the northern area of Inskip Point and as far as the stretch of beach at K'Gari, police believe.

Anyone who finds the items on the beach has been urged to leave them alone and contact the police, but if they are found in the water, police have urged the public to collect them before contacting authorities.
