The search for two divers reported missing off the coast of Bluff has been called off.
Dive squads started looking for the men yesterday afternoon when a member of the public reported seeing the two being swept out by the current.
However, a police spokesperson said this morning that no-one had been reported missing, and no-one was overdue to return from sea.
Emergency services were contacted about 1pm yesterday by someone who said they had witnessed the divers getting into trouble.
A search involving Coastguard, commercial fishing vessels and a helicopter was launched but failed to find any trace of the pair.
Later yesterday, police also received a report of two people leaving the water in the area,
