Police say they got reports at about 11am on Friday of a man going into the water and not resurfacing.
They say the Coastguard helped retrieve the body.
The death will be referred to the coroner.
The incident follows the death of a woman in her 70s yesterday as she was diving off Island Bay Road in Auckland's Beach Haven.
Police said the woman was pulled from the water by members of the public but ambulance staff could not revive her.
