A surfer has died at Jervis Bay, less than 24 hours after a man lost his life in the same area.
Surfers and swimmers brought the 62-year-old to shore at Cave Beach about 10am on Monday after he was found unresponsive.
Emergency services were called and paramedics performed CPR on the man but despite their best efforts, he could not be revived.
Officers from the South Coast Police District and Australian Federal Police also attended.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
The tragedy comes after another man was swept off rocks and died at nearby Steamers Beach on Sunday afternoon.
Marine Rescue was called to that incident and when they arrived the man had been pulled from the water by onlookers and CPR was in progress.
However, it was understood that he too died at the scene.
