Raphael Alualu, a 16-year-old from Mt Roskill, failed to surface after jumping 5m off a cliff top into a quarry swimming hole next to Lake Pupuke yesterday afternoon.
Police divers located his body about 10.30am today close to where he disappeared. It was brought ashore in a rubber dinghy.
Raphael was a student at the School of Business in Newmarket, Auckland, and had gone to the lake with other students and staff.
The swimming hole is next to the North Shore Squash Club and president Pat Menzies said today he warned the new Auckland Council last week something had to be done about the dangers of youngsters leaping into the lake.
"It's been an accident waiting to happen. Everyday I go to the club, especially in summer, there are kids there.
"It is a beautiful spot down there and it attracts them. Where there is water there is going to be people and youths.
"I feel very bad. The kids were just having fun."
Mr Menzies said over the years there had been a number of deaths and injuries at the lake.
