Police divers are searching the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland for a missing man.

Part-time chef and student Srikanth Rayadurgam, 23, was last seen on Thursday leaving his Mt Albert home.

Police say his wallet was found by a cyclist near the Westhaven marina shortly before 8am on Friday.

Other items belonging to Mr Rayadurgam, including his backpack and some clothes, have also been found.

Police say there is nothing to suggest that Mr Rayadurgam was unwell or unhappy, so his disappearance is of concern.
