Powered paraglider instructor Tom Dresner was teaching Oliver Limcherm and another student ground handling skills just before the crash.
The body of a 52-year-old man, identified on news reports as father-of-four Rob Lithgow, was pulled from the sea off Nirranda, near Warrnambool, on Sunday morning after he and another man had been reported missing on Saturday.
THE Police Search and Rescue Squad has been called to Flaxman Hill at Nirranda after a pair of paragliders went missing earlier today.
