Boat Accident, Pittwater

At around 1345 hours, Sydney's Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was tasked by Australian Search and Rescue (AusSAR) to an activated distress beacon in the Box Beach, Pittwater area.  Information suggested that a dive boat had overturned, throwing nine people in the water.  Two ambulance helicopters were also heading that way.  

Shortly after departing our base, AusSAR advised that the helicopter could stand down as a nearby vessel had rescued the passengers out of the water.
