NSW Police were told the man went diving about 8.15am on Friday with a family member and were alerted about 10am when the man failed to return.
A search led by police divers was suspended at 7pm on Friday, after the Surf Life Saving helicopter suspended its search earlier in the afternoon.
The search resumed on Saturday morning with assistance from police divers, marine rescue, the State Emergency Service and Surf Life Saving.
The body of the man, believed to be aged 57, was found on rocks south of Cuttagee Beach near Barragga Point and was yet to be formally identified, police said in a statement.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
