“Police are now searching for the second man and his dog, described as being a large black and white Staffordshire-type dog,” NSW Police said at 8.45am on Saturday morning. “Police have been told there were no life jackets, lights, or safety equipment on board.” Police, surf life saving volunteers, PolAir and the Westpac rescue helicopter are now searching for the man.

On Saturday morning, NSW Minister for Emergency Services Steph Cooke urged people to be safe at the beach and on the water.“Don’t take risks unnecessarily, be mindful of your own capabilities. If you’re out and about boating, please wear a lifejacket. It’s really important. It could mean the difference between you losing your life or being safe at the end of an incident.”
