The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office identified the diver whose body was found off the coast near Gaviota on Saturday as Terry Gummerman, 54, of Santa Maria.

At about 3 a.m., Gummerman went diving for lobster just south of Mariposa Reina. After he failed to check in, he was reported missing.

Shortly before 8 a.m., searchers discovered his body.

Officials have not yet released the exact circumstances involved or the cause of death.
