An off-duty Garda has died after getting into difficulty while diving off Wexford's Hook Head.

The father of four in his forties was part of a team that was diving a wreck not far from the Saltee Islands.

The alert was raised shortly after noon today as he returned to the surface after a dive.

He was treated by colleagues at the scene and airlifted to University Hospital Waterford where he has since been pronounced dead.
