🌊 From Training to Reality 🚨When a Course Turned into a Real-Life Rescue 🌊
📍 Perhentian Island Resort | 22 June 2025

What started as just another day of our Aquatic Life Support Course quickly turned into a real emergency.

At around 12:36 PM, during our lunch break on the beach, one of our instructors suddenly heard cry for help coming from the sea. A family of Chinese tourist, a father and his daughter, around 5 years old — were struggling in the open water.

Within seconds, our team jumped into action.
Four instructors with aids sprinted into the water, while six others raced to grab emergency equipment — life jackets, AED, and our medical bag.

When we reached the scene, the situation was more critical than expected — five individuals were signaling for help, and the father and daughter were barely staying afloat. Thankfully, five off-duty foreign firefighters who happened to be nearby had already started to bring up the victims, however they were struggling to bring them back to shore.

Our instructors immediately joined forces with them. Floatation devices were secured, and together, we brought both victims safely back to land.

🩺On the beach, our medical support team was ready.
The victims received immediate care — including oxygen support. The AED remained on standby. We monitored both father and daughter closely. Thankfully, they remained stable.

🛟After initial assessment, the victims were advised to seek further medical attention if symptoms appeared. Resort staff and the tourist family expressed deep gratitude for the team’s quick response.

💡Points to ponder:
1. Never enter water for rescue unless you are trained
2. Dry rescue is always prioritized compared to wet rescue
3. Equip self with right equipment for the right activity
4. Water safety awareness is crucial in, the eye doesnt see what the mind doesnt know

On the 19th and 20th of April 2025, AqLS Society collaborated with the Special Skills & Expertise in Disaster Response (SPEAR), Civil Defence Auxillary 03 (CDA 03) Brigade of the Malaysia Civil Defence Force (MCDF also known as APM) to organize an Aquatic Life Support (intermediate) course for its volunteers in the Pusat Latihan Pertahanan Awam Wilayah Selatan (PULAPAS), Kluang, Johor.

Apart from Johor state, many volunteers/ participants travelled from other different states to PULAPAS for the course. They were dedicated and eager to learn about water safety, drowning prevention and aquatic rescue. We also discussed about aquatic disaster response which certainly would benefit them in understanding the appropriate response planning during aquatic disaster.

Aquatic Life Support Society likes to extend appreciation to SPEAR CDA 03 Brigade, particularly to Komander Mohamed Noor Dato' Suleiman and his team, as well as PULAPAS, for the opportunity and cooperation, making the AqLS (MCDF module) a success.

For those who wants more, we encourage you to join our 4-days AqLS course on 20th - 23th June 2025.
