Two tourists, who were rushed to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition after getting into trouble at Hot Water Beach on Monday, have been discharged.

A group of surfers pulled an unconscious man out of the water who was face down in the surf.

He was given CPR by a doctor and nurse who were at the beach.

Another man was also rushed to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition when he was pulled from the water at the same time.
