VICTORIA, Australia (6 Oct 2007) -- A man died while scuba diving with friends off Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.

The victim, 46, was diving on Saturday afternoon with three other divers at Blowhole, a popular dive site about 100 meters offshore at Flinders.

Authorities said the divers realized that the victim was missing when he failed to resurface with the group.

After searching at the surface for a few minutes, they found the missing diver floating face down and unconscious about 300 meters east of the dive site.

Police said a helicopter was scrambled to rescue the diver, but paramedics could not resuscitate the man.

The scuba diving accident is under investigation and an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.
