The tragedy occurred around 12:32pm on Saturday, 7 December in waters off the coast of Arona, a popular tourist district located on the southwest coast of Tenerife.
Emergency services were called following reports that a diver – whose nationality and identity have not so far been released – was removed from the water ‘in cardiac arrest’.
Medics from the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) administered CPR upon arrival but were unable to resuscitate the diver, who was declared dead at the scene.
The Arona Police Department has opened an investigation into the incident.
