Police have scaled back the search for a missing free diver last seen after failing to return to a six-metre vessel off Elliott Heads.
The 38-year-old man from Bundaberg was with friends when he didn't resurface just after 8.00am on Saturday morning.
After a five-day sea, land and air search, involving multiple agencies, spanning hundreds of nautical miles, there has been no sign of him since.
Initial inquiries suggest he may have suffered a medical event.
Local police officers and surf lifesaving will continue patrols along the shore between Burnett Heads and Innes Park.
The man's family has been notified and police would like to thank the community and other services for their assistance.
