The family of Hawke's Bay drowning victim Hemin Limbachiya have pleaded with the Indian and New Zealand governments to help them bring their son home.

Limbachiya, 26, drowned on Sunday at Waimarama Beach while swimming with his new wife Tanvi​ Bhavsar,​ and a male relative.

Speaking from Baroda, in northwest India, cousin Chinmay Valvi said Limbachiya's mother was becoming unwell as she waited for her son's body to be returned.

"It happened on Sunday, and he will be here by Saturday or Sunday, so it's been a week. His mother's condition is getting crucial. She is waiting for her son.

"The family have been despondent, but now we are in shock."

He described his cousin as a calm, gentle person who was "fully good at heart".

A Givealittle page set up to help Bhavsar claims the couple have "a combined debt of close to $40,000 following their recent Indian cultural marriage".

They were married in India on December 4, after a civil wedding in Wellington in 2016. They were in the process of filing for New Zealand residency.

Getting Limbachiya's body back to India for cremation would cost "close to $20,000".

Valvi said the couple had lived in New Zealand for four years, and had been planning to start a family, but now Bhavsar wanted to return to India.

She has been discharged from Hawke's Bay hospital after Sunday's accident, and Valvi said she was doing well, but was still too much in shock to remember the rescue, or how the group got into difficulty in chest-high water.

Rescuer Cameron McCallum said Limbachiya's final act of love was to ask him to save his wife. Their relative made it ashore by himself.

In the moments before he drowned, he tried desperately to keep Bhavsar afloat, before telling 16-year-old Cameron to save his beloved over himself.

Valvi thanked Cameron by name for his efforts, and was grateful he could save at least one of them.

Wellington-based friend Keanan Beyers said Limbachiya's final gesture came as no surprise.

"He was a selfless person. He was just that type of person. He was just a nice guy all around."

Beyers learned of his friend's death only on Tuesday, and was struggling to comprehend the impact his passing would be having on his wife.

"I can't even begin to imagine what she's feeling now. The fact that they are so both young, they had their whole lives ahead of them.

"She obviously didn't expect it to be alone."

Beyers reserved a special message for Limbachiya's parents.

"The only thing that I can say is that they can be very proud as parents in the way that they've raised him.

"Because you can ask anyone that knows him, anybody, and they will tell you, he's a nice guy."

Limbachiya, a finance graduate from Whitireia, had been working as a contractor at Spark, for whom spokeswoman Lydia Tebbutt said: "The news of his passing is deeply saddening. His family and friends have our sincerest sympathy."Read more at:wedding dresses adelaide | lace wedding dresses
