The police national dive squad arrived about 1pm on Friday and were searching about 50m from the shore.
Signs warning people of the danger of swimming in the lake were installed on Friday after the Queenstown Lakes District Council ordered them following Kisling's death. "There is no single authority responsible for the choice people make to enter a body of water. However, the steps we are taking to ensure nothing like this happens again is a logical and practical way that council can help at this incredibly sad time."
It was a dangerous lakefront, but two drownings in a week in the same spot was a new level of tragedy, she said. "My heart goes out to the families and friends of the two men who have drowned in circumstances where they were acting to save a life. It was very brave."
