The search will continue Monday morning for a Korean national who went missing at Sedgefield's Myoli Beach.
NSRI spokesperson, Craig Lambinon, says a 22 year old man and a 30 year old friend were swept out to sea in a rip-current late Sunday afternoon.
He says the 30 year old was rescued from the surf by a local man and treated for near drowning symptoms.
However, Lambinon says his companion remains missing and is feared to have drowned.
The men, from South Korea, were in South Africa on a training course.
