Ok who was having the rescue class in Malibu today? Got a call I hate seeing in my 911 call center and had to dispatch a unit to a “diver down" in Malibu. Sitting here hoping it is not someone I know when I hear from county fire that it was a bad call. Some by-standard thought the rescue class looked to real and someone was in actual danger. Glad that it was nothing But Damn if it was scaring people on the beach I want to know who was teaching that class I want to get in on the next one.

P.S. Like always glad to hear that it was only a class and not a diver down big sigh of relief.

When I took the class, we made sure to notify folks on the beach that it was a class...

I guess it is not always possible to do that...

Ask someone to hold the sign, like CalTran does

When I took my Rescue Diver class, my instructor went to the Lifeguard station at the beach we were diving, to let them know we were doing diver rescue training. During our actual class, we saw several lifeguards walking around nearby talking to the beach-goers letting them know we are training, which drew people to our "camp" to ask about what we were doing and why.

My rescue class was from a boat. We yelled "call for pizza" instead of "call 911" for purposes of the class

What Snowbear said... although I have not yet taken Rescue, several friends said they yell for Pizza instead of 911...
