The man, Jason Jennings, 51, was found unresponsive in the water off Point Mugu in Ventura County Saturday afternoon.
Fire crews and personnel from the Naval base responded to Family Beach around 1 p.m. following a report of a person in the water. The beach is located on Naval Base Ventura County property.
