Three men remain in hospital, one of them in a critical condition, following separate water-related incidents on the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast.
A man was flown to the Alfred Hospital on Sunday in a serious condition after getting into trouble while diving in Queenscliff Harbour.
Also on Sunday, a young man was taken to Geelong Hospital by road ambulance following an incident off Lorne on the Great Ocean Road.
The rescues follow a boating accident near St Leonards late Friday afternoon in which a man is believed to have been struck by a boat’s propellor.
Witnesses say they saw a boat circling while other passers-by jumped into the water to assist the injured man, who is thought to be aged in his 50s.
He was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital by ambulance helicopter.
On Sunday night he was still listed as critical.
