Jet skiers who allegedly endangered the lives of swimmers at a popular snorkelling spot are facing a string of charges over the incident that ended in the dramatic arrest of three men at a boat ramp.

Police patrolling Half Moon Bay in Melbourne’s southeast spotted a jet skier allegedly speeding through a no-boating zone, narrowly missing people in the water in November last year.

Three men were later arrested at a boat ramp where police allege one of the men assaulted an officer.
