Police believe Matt Wallis age 39, son of Warbirds over Wanaka founder Sir Tim Wallis, died when his Robinson R44 helicopter crashed into Lake Wanaka.
He was making a supply run to a lodge at Mount Aspiring National Park when the craft went down.
Detective Sergeant Derek Shaw says police divers are due to head into the water, weather dependent.
He says the wind is blowing hard, and there're choppy water conditions.
