The body of Michael Hanrahan, a 45 year old father of four children from Dublin, who died at the site of a sunken German U-boat U-778 has been recovered.
Mr Hanrahan died during a dive on the U-boat which is 16 miles off Malin Head, County Donegal.
The dive team was filming the U-boat while assessing the chances of recovering it.
The boat is lying in about 70 metres of water.
The U-boat, which did not see any war action, sank while being towed from Scotland to Londonderry to be scrapped.
Derry City Council plans to raise U-778 and house it in a museum.
