The body of a second man has been recovered off the west Cork coast.

Earlier another man who was rescued and airlifted to hospital died after efforts to resuscitate him failed.

The two men failed to surface after a dive this morning. The alarm was raised by the men's boat crew at around 9:40am.

They had been diving around a submarine wreck four miles South of Castlehaven near Baltimore.

The Naval Service, the LE Aisling and the Naval Service Diving Section all assisted in the search.

The body of the second man was recovered this evening by local divers and is being brought to Baltimore.
