During the second lifeguard training in Cabo Verde at the Island of Boa Vista, Hotel Riu Karamboa, and the 17 participants experienced a real rescue.
Right after the beginning of the training, the Manager of the Scubacaribe’s dive center received a call with the information a person is drowning around 500 meters close to the beach.
All training students thought of course this will be one of the exercises during the course and got prepared with all their equipment for the rescue.
As soon they did reach the spot in the ocean where the drowning person was supposed to be, they received a nice surprise: 3 dolphins, which could not make their way back to the deep sea anymore.
With the help of the training students the dolphins where brought to the harbor of the island where the water was calm and the dolphins could leave the shore. A REAL RESCUE!!!

September 27th 2007: Mexico/ Riviera Maya: Christian Redl did it again ++++
The Austrian diver, who already has 3 records for apnoe diving in the Guiness Book, just did it again.
The Cenote "Angelita" is located south of Tulum / Riviera Maya and this is where at 13:05 pm his feat began when he entered the water of the cavaern, which turns into a cave and changes from fresh water to salt water, after relaxation and concentration to reduce his pulsations down to 30 per minute. Normal pulse is 60 and 80 while resting.
The organizers considered that for this depth of the Cenote Christian Redl would need 2 minutes for his roundtrip, but he surprised them all as he showed up 15 seconds earlier with the depth mark in his hand of 60.1 meters.
His team, which included 6 security divers from the Scubacaribe, was ready every second to assist in a case of emergency.
Alejandro Perez, chief of the security divers from Scubacaribe said that next year they plan to organize a world wide competition with the best apnoe diver at the Riviera Maya.
We are looking forward to this advent and also want to congratulate Christian Redl.
