The family of a diver who went missing off the North Wales coast have paid tribute to him after a body was found.
Imrich Magyar, 53, from the Warrington area of Cheshire, was discovered in the Llangwnnadl area of Pwllheli on 7 December, police have now confirmed.
North Wales Police appealed for information last month after HM Coastguard received a report concerning the safety of a “possible diver” off Porth Ysgaden on the Llŷn Peninsula.
An extensive search was carried out along the coastline and on land in the surrounding area.
Officers said the circumstances surrounding his death were not thought to be suspicious.
A member of Mr Magyar’s family thanked the coastguard, RNLI and “all others” who helped look for him.
“The family are very grateful for all the efforts made and for people who came out in their own time to help,” they added.
“Thank you to the police and coroner’s office for their continued support and consideration to the family. Thank you all.”

Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Gibson from North Wales Police said the force’s “deepest condolences” were with Mr Magyar’s family and friends.
He said they had asked for their privacy to be respected at a difficult time.
“I would like to thank the community for their support during the searches,” he added.
