NSW Ambulance inspector David Matthews said bystanders did an incredible job to get the man to shore and immediately begin CPR.
‘They were remarkable in devastating circumstances,’ he said in a statement.
‘As we head into the summer months, it’s important to understand the dangers of the ocean and waterways. It’s imperative to have a safety plan in case something goes wrong.’
