A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said it responded with one ambulance, a rapid response vehicle and an operations manager.
The death comes just three days after another man was found dead at Big Manly Beach on Auckland’s Whangaparāoa Peninsula.
Police were called to the beach about 12.50pm on Thursday after a member of the public discovered the man’s body.
The circumstances surrounding that death are still being investigated.
This year is tipped to be one of the worst for water-related deaths, with 71 people drowning since the beginning of 2026.
That was significantly higher than the average across the last decade and the same time in 2025 (52 deaths recorded in the year-to-date).
