By Karen the Paramedic : Miles of tropical beaches and scores of beautiful lakes lure tourists and townsfolk alike to the shores of Mighty World to enjoy water sports of all types-kayaking, sailing, swimming, surfing, diving, and snorkeling. In order to keep people safe in the water, Scott the rescue diver and his boat pilot Sean are conducting training exercises this month in anticipation of the busy summer season.

In a simulated sea recovery drill, both Scott and Sean will have to calculate the drift of troubled swimmers from the point they entered the water by measuring the strength and direction of the current. “We’re the boater's and swimmers safety net while on the water” says Scott who has a self-confessed "passion for helping people." Keeping up with their training ensures safer waterways should a real rescue effort occur.
