one of the first things that they tell you when you take any life saving courses is reach , throw, row ,go.an untrained person trying to help another drowding victim is putting his own life on the line by going into the water to rescue. i wonder how many guys that surf fish don't know to swim. and how many actually feel comfortable in the water if they do go in?as it has been said before panick is what is kills most drownding victims.the water is a dangerous place no matter what gear you have on ,it only takes a tesspoon of water to drownd in if you inhale it wrong.
