RNZ said police were called to the scene, at the Kingston Wharf near Kent St, about 10:20am.
They were notified that a person had been pulled from the water unresponsive, and said they died at the scene.
The New Zealand Herald reports that witnesses at a nearby cafe said the person drowned while diving.
St John told the Herald that it responded to the “water-related incident” with one ambulance, one first response unit and one helicopter.
“Our crews were not required for transportation,” St John said.
The death will be referred to the Coroner.
