The death is not being treated a suspicious.

It is the fourth fatality in Victorian waters from that day.

Two people drowned just 20 kilometers from each other on the Mornington Peninsula, a man in his 80s at Rye front beach and 45-year-old woman Aida Hamed.

A third person died at Venus Bay after trying to rescue a teenage girl and her father trapped in a rip.

Lisa Mandeltort has been remembered by her family as a passionate school teacher who would not have thought twice about saving the 14-year-old girl and her dad.

On the day of the drownings, Life Saving Victoria general manager Liam Krige described the tragedies as a "really sad day" for the state.

"It's a timely reminder that we really do encourage all Victorians to wherever possible try and attend a patrolled location."
