Body found off Sydney believed to be diver

A body found washed up near a Sydney beach is believed to be that of a diver who went missing at the weekend.

A surfer found the body floating about 200 metres from Maroubra Beach on Tuesday at 6pm (AEDT).

Police believe it is the same 26-year-old man who went missing while snorkelling with friends off Magic Point late on Saturday afternoon.

After being in the water for 50 minutes, the group returned to the edge of the rocks, near where the man had been diving, but were unable to find him.

They alerted authorities shortly before 7pm on Saturday.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out as part of a coronial investigation.
