A 92-year-old man is in a critical condition after being pulled from the surf unconscious at Byron Bay’s Main Beach this morning.
A member of the general public pulled the man ashore and commenced CPR with off duty lifeguards until paramedics arrived.
He was taken to Tweed Hospital.

The 92 year old man is my father…I would like to express our sincere thanks to the “member of the general public” , and lifeguards who saved him. I am happy to report he is in a very good condition, annoying the nursing staff at Tweed Hospital and keen to get back into the water. His swimmer friends have visited him in hospital, all in all a good news story. I would encourage all “members of the general public” to learn CPR….you never know when it’ll come in handy.
Thanks for sharing Michael!
