“Marine Rescue NSW volunteers and vessels will focus on two search areas under the direction of Marine Area Command.

“Batemans Bay 21 will search alongside a NSW Water Police vessel off Batemans Bay, while Narooma 30, Bermagui 30 and Merimbula 31 will search further south.

“All four Marine Rescue NSW vessels will continue searching today until instructed otherwise by Marine Area Command,” Inspector Massey said.
