A water-skier has died after hitting a partially submerged tree on a waterway on NSW's south coast.
The 56-year-old was waterskiing behind a boat on Wandandian Creek, Bewong, yesterday afternoon when he struck the tree, police said.
He was pulled unconscious from the water by the boat's driver and rushed to a boat ramp.
Paramedics were standing by to transport him to hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police said they seized the boat, skis and a tow rope for forensic examination.
