Rescue crews have pulled two bodies from the water on the NSW Central Coast.
Emergency crews were called just after 4pm on Saturday to reports of a body in the water at Little Beach in Bouddi National Park.
A 46-year-old man was pulled from the water. He was assessed by paramedics but died at the scene.
Police then launched another search after being told there was a second man still in the water.
The search – involving police helicopters, marine boats, and the Rural Fire Service – discovered the body of the second man, aged 67.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
A record 81 lives were lost in drowning incidents across Australia this summer, Royal Life Saving Australia said.
