Emergency services were called to the scene at Anzac Bay at 10.22am

The body has not yet been identified, but a 24-year-old Rotorua fisherman has been missing since last week in the area after his boat overturned.

Two others made it safely to shore, but the missing man was last seen clinging to a 4.5m aluminium craft.
