About 9.30am, four men were diving and when they surfaced, noticed the 64-year-old was not with them.
A short time later they located his body floating unconscious nearby.
The three men pulled him into a boat and attempted to revive him, before transporting him back to shore to meet Ambulance officers.
He was declared dead a short time later.
The man's death is not being treated as suspicious. Police will now prepare a report for the coroner.
It's believed that the man was an experienced diver and from the Rockingham region.

Sad loss of a 64 year old local diver, unfortunately the second in two weeks. A man in his 40s died last weekend diving at Hillarys. RIP to both men and condolences to their families such a sad time of the year.
