The disappearance of the diver, a 74-year-old Scarborough man, was reported on Divernet on 9 July.
According to Scarborough News the man had been diving a 46m-deep wreck off Ravenscar from the boat Francis Ann, privately owned by members of Scarborough Sub Aqua Club.
The dive-group consisted of both members and non-members.
