The Sonoma County coroner's office has identified the abalone diver who died on a beach in Sea Ranch on the Sonoma Coast Wednesday afternoon as John Curtis, 54, of Grass Valley.

A male, believed to be Curtis' diving partner, called 911 at 3:08 p.m., Sonoma County sheriff's Sgt. Cecile Focha said.

The Sea Ranch Fire Department responded to the beach at Galleons Reach, a road off of state Highway 1, fire engineer Danell Eshnaur said.

Firefighters lowered themselves with ropes about 40 feet to the beach and brought Curtis' body up to the bluff, Eshnaur said.

Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene.
