The National Sea Rescue Institute late Thursday afternoon responded to a drowning incident at Camps Bay tidal pool. 

It is believed that a 31-year-old man disappeared underwater while swimming in the tidal pool. 

NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said a free dive commenced and during the search the man was found underwater and he was brought to shore, where advanced life CPR was conducted.  But after all efforts to resuscitate him failed the man was declared dead on the scene.

Lambinon added that police have opened an inquest docket and it’s not clear at this stage what the circumstances are regarding the cause of his drowning.
