A search has resumed this morning for a man who went missing at a swimming hole in Karekare.
Search and Rescue and a dive squad were leading the search near the West Coast beach in Auckland.
Police were called at 3.35pm yesterday after the man failed to resurface
at the swimming hole.
As of Friday, there had been nine drownings in New Zealand this year, Water Safety New Zealand data showed.
That was slightly fewer than the same time last year.
