A boat carrying 80 passengers has capsized in Bali leaving two tourists dead and a third missing.
The speed boast capsized about 5pm AEST after being caught in large surf off Sanur in southeast Bali.
At least five Australians, three men and two women, had boarded the vessel, though local authorities have yet to provide information on their condition.
Denpasar Search and Rescue Agency said 77 passengers survived the incident while two Chinese nationals died and a 23-year-old Indonesian remained missing.
Footage captured the aftermath, where sodden passengers were carried to shore after being rescued from the upturned vessel.
In a particularly troubling scene, an apparently unconscious woman was seen being rushed to shore as the screams of onlookers filled the air.
The boat, named Fast Boat Dolphin II, capsized and ran aground near its destination port in Sanur, on the Bali mainland, after crossing from Nusa Penida.
The search agency said fifteen people were receiving treatment at Bali Mandara Hospital.

‘We received the initial report to the Bali Province Disaster Management Operations Center (Pusdalops PB) at 4.25 pm,’ the search agency’s Bali head I Nyoman Sidakarya said, according to the National News Network.
‘We are continuing to gather information regarding the number of passengers and their current condition.’
Travel authorities have raised concerns with the safety of Bali’s boats in recent months, following the death of Australian woman Anna Blight, 39, in March.
The Melbourne accountant was among the 13 passengers on the Sea Dragon snorkelling boat thrown overboard in rough surf on its way to Nusa Penida.
Last month, at least 19 people died after a ferry sank while crossing from from an eastern Java island to Bali.
