A BRITISH man has been found dead wearing just his shorts and a mask after going diving off the coast of Majorca.
His body was pulled out of the sea near to the holiday resort of Magaluf today with cops now investigating his death.

A Civil Protection boat uncovered the grim discovery before recovering his body and taking it to Santa Ponsa Yacht Club where cops started their inquiries.
The man is understood to have been in his 60s or 70s, according to well placed sources.
The alarm was raised around 4pm on Tuesday and the local Civil Guard launched an immediate probe to try to discover who the dead man was.
Well-placed sources confirmed this afternoon he was British.
It was not immediately clear this afternoon whether he had been holidaying in Majorca or lived on the island.
Reports at the time of the discovery earlier this week, before his nationality emerged, had described him as being aged between 60 and 70.
A police source said this afternoon: “The death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.”
Officials are yet to say whether they have established drowning as cause of death.
They are still investigating if a previous health problem may have taken its toll before she got into difficulties.
