Authorities have again been forced to abandon the search for a man lost at sea during a weekend boating accident on the New South Wales south coast.
Police divers today joined the search for Sam Sgroi, 47, who is feared drowned after a boating accident killed three of his family near Batemans Bay.
They were called back about 3pm today after conditions deteriorated, a police spokeswoman said. “There will be a decision tomorrow morning on if it will continue, depending on weather,” she said.
Tragedy … Con and Tina Sgroi with their son Sam, who is still missing, and their grandchildren Giana and Georgia.
Mr Sgroi was one of five people on board the 4.9-metre Shark Cat when it overturned off Maloneys Beach shortly before 2pm on Saturday.
His parents Con, 73, and Tina Sgroi, 66, died in the accident, along with his 10-year-old niece, Giana. The girl and her grandparents were pulled from the water and could not be revived.
Her 11-year-old sister, Georgina Sgroi, survived after being found clinging to the speed boat’s hull, after the boat flipped while crossing a treacherous sandbar in an area known as Yellow Rock.
Strong winds and poor visibility forced rescuers to abandon their search for Mr Sgroi at 11am yesterday.
But conditions improved overnight and a police spokeswoman said efforts to find the man resumed at 8am today.
The search is involving water police, the police air wing, Polair, four marine rescue vessels, surf lifesaving IRBs and a jet ski.
The children were believed to be on holiday from Victoria with their grandparents, who live in Batemans Bay.
An employee from Batemans Bay restaurant The Innes Boatshed said the Sgroi family was “well respected” in town, and used to run a local business.
“I was in the park yesterday when the helicopters came, and everyone was wondering what was happening,” she said.
“It sounds like they were hit by a wave right near the reef.”
An investigation will be conducted and a report prepared for the coroner, police said.
