Botha says the holidaymaker got into trouble as he emerged out of the surf.
"As he was walking out of the water, he clutched his chest and collapsed. The lifeguards - when we arrived there - had already started CPR. The advanced life support paramedics put the patient on a ventilator, and put him on cardiac drugs," he said.
Botha says that despite efforts, the man died on the scene.
