UPDATE 10am: Three men have been pulled from the water by marine rescue volunteers following a search off Jurien Bay this morning.

A water police spokesman said the men, believed to be aged in their 30s, were cold but otherwise unharmed.

He said it was not clear what caused the men’s 4.3m dingy to sink but the vessel had been recovered.

The search for the men was sparked about 7.30am after an EPIRB was activated three nautical miles from shore.

A Jurien Bay Volunteer Sea Rescue boat, the RAC Rescue helicopter and a police helicopter were involved in the search.
