A body found on a beach is thought to be that of a second man who was swept out to sea off Brighton.
A member of the public discovered the body, thought to be Dan Nicholls, at 8.10am at Rottingdean, roughly three miles from Brighton's Palace Pier.
Mr Nicholls, 23, was with four of his friends when he was knocked off his feet by a wave in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Police have said the incident happened after he was dared to stand at the water's edge.
A second man, Freddie Reynolds, 24, is said to have disappeared after he dived in to rescue him.
Friends told police the two men were together in the water before they lost sight of them.
Mr Reynolds' body was found on Saturday on Saltdean beach.
Detective Chief Inspector Carwyn Hughes said: "Dan's family has been informed and has yet to make a formal identification but it is likely to be Dan.
"We are supporting them in what has been a horrendous weekend for all those involved.
"Our search is now suspended while identification is confirmed."
Rescuers, including a helicopter and lifeboats, worked through the night to try to find the men in the early hours of 10 January, but gale-force winds and rough seas hampered the search.
In a statement, Mr Reynolds' family said his death would leave a "huge void in a lot of people's lives".
Loved ones of the 24-year-old added: "Freddie was always looking out for his friends and family, and people loved to be around him.
"He was incredibly funny and loved a joke and a banter around the dinner table."
Mr Nicholls' relatives described him as a "sensitive individual who had a real enthusiasm for life", and as someone who was "quick, witty and very bright".
