Diver swept out to sea rescued off Port Noarlunga after police detect faint torchlight
A diver has been rescued hundreds of metres offshore of a South Australian beach after she was swept out to sea late last night.
Key points:
- The 45-year-old was swept out to sea by a rip
- She used a torch to get noticed in the water
- A police patrol spotted the faint light from the shore
The 45-year-old woman was in a group that was night diving at Port Noarlunga, in Adelaide’s southern suburbs, when she was caught in a rip about 10:20pm.
Rescue boats and the police helicopter searched from the air, but it was a patrol on the shoreline that spotted a light in the sea about 1 kilometre off the coast.
“Patrols established cordon points along the coastline and they were able to spot a faint torchlight,” Senior Constable Kate Dawson said.
