    Did anyone here witness the rescue in Rusheen Bay last Wednesday afternoon? Eight children were swept out of their depth, one of the instructors from the neighbouring windsurfing school heard the screams and quickly got to them, two of the children had disappeared under the surface and he dived underwater to thankfully save them, another three clung on to him and he managed to get three more on to his sup board, I want to post this as the story didn't make the news as there were thankfully no casualties. I feel the rescuer deserves some credit and not just remain an unsung hero.

    It deserves to be highlighted and I really hope he gets rewarded.
