NSRI Richards Bay deputy station commander, Manie le Roux, commended a vigilant trainee who spotted a man struggling in the water.
“While NSRI had launched to provide logistics support to a group of jet-skiers, we were activated when an NSRI trainee crew member noticed a swimmer in distress in the channel at Pelican Island.”
