Tour Guides and Bystander Rescue Snorkelling Couple
Story 2
Two tour guides and a bystander helped rescue a senior couple who got into difficulty while snorkelling at Cape Vidal near St Lucia.
The guides rushed into the surf with diving fins while the bystander used an National Sea Rescue Institute pink rescue buoy to reach the 54-year-old man, who was exhausted and showing signs of non-fatal drowning.
The woman was also safely brought back to shore.
Both were treated by NSRI medics and later taken to St Lucia for further checks, where they were declared stable and did not require additional medical care.
