Congratulations to Surf Rescue 30 who have been today awarded Sydney Branch Winner for Rescue of the Month October 2016 for their rescue conducted on 22 October at Yellow Rock.
Skipper Brad Taylor, Driver Nick Reilly, Crewman Callum Good and Jon Kilbane at around 1415 hours were patrolling north from Long Bay along the beaches. As there was a 2 metre swell running and a strong SE wind they went wide past Yellow Rock to avoid the wash. The crew spotted two divers about 500 metres off Yellow Rock out to sea. SR30 doubled back to investigate and as they got closer noticed the divers had activated their distress buoys.
