Port Kembla Marine Rescue crews assist divers

Marine Rescue NSW Port Kembla crews have helped four people, after their vessel was stranded on rocks off Port Kembla on Sunday 22 March 2026.

Just before midday, local boaters raised the alarm after an anchor line failure, left a vessel high and dry on Bass Islet while its occupants were diving nearby.

One diver was recovered from the water and taken on board Port Kembla 31, while two other divers and the skipper, made their way safely onto the rescue vessel.
