On Friday afternoon NSRI commanders as well as the Metro Red Cross AMS Helicopter respondent, were called out near to Gansbaai, following a Rubber-duck that had capsized about a half a mile off shore with nine people reportedly in the water.

“On the helicopters arrival on scene, all the people involved were found washed up on the shore, including their Rubber-duck," says Sea Rescue Media Spokesperson, Craig Lambinon.

One of the members, a 35 year-old man from Napier, was declared dead on scene by paramedics.

“The remaining eight people were found in satisfactory condition, requiring no medical assistance," says Lambinon.
