A scuba diver has died after getting into trouble off Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was diving alone off a beach on Browns Road at Rye when a group of divers spotted him struggling around 3pm (AEDT).
They dragged him to shore and tried to resuscitate him, but he could not be revived.
He died at the scene.
Charles Pratt was one of the divers who discovered the man in trouble and said the deceased diver took a risk by diving on his own.
"It looks like he might have jumped in with his regulator off which is sad because his tank was still full," he said.
"It's a dangerous sport, clearly, but if you take precautions it should be relatively safe."
