About 11.10am today (Sunday 7 July 2024), emergency services were called to Grotto Point Reserve, Balgowlah Heights, following reports a diver's buoy was located floating close to shore.

A diver's buoy is usually used to mark the location of a diver or is towed by spear fisherman when underwater; however, no diver or spear fisherman were found near the buoy.

Officers attached to Northern Beaches Police Area Command attended the scene before extra resources from Marine Area Command commenced a search operation in the area.

Following a public appeal for information about the buoy, police believe they have now located its owner safe and well.
