Marine Rescue NSW crews continue search for missing swimmer south of Port Macquarie

Volunteers and vessels from Marine Rescue Port Macquarie and Camden Haven are continuing to assist in the multi-agency search for a missing 20-year-old male swimmer, last seen at Shelly Beach on Wednesday.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector John Murray said volunteer crews and radio operators resumed the search just before 8am today (Friday, 29 August).

“Marine Rescue NSW vessels Camden Haven 30 and Port Macquarie 21 are on the water conducting a parallel line search alongside a NSW Water Police boat.

“They are continuing to focus on an area between Nobbys Beach and Miners Beach.

“Offshore conditions are favourable today, with a 1.5-metre swell.

“Camden Haven 30 and Port Macquarie 21 will remain on the water until instructed otherwise by Marine Area Command,” Inspector Murray said.
