GREAT BAY--A Sheriff security guard helped to save a young woman who fell off a jet ski watercraft Wednesday afternoon.
The young woman was riding in Great Bay with her stepfather when the jet ski capsized. Wednesday's wind caused the water to be extra rough.
The security guard was completing his rounds when he was called over by Divi Little Bay Beach Resort housekeeping. The housekeepers explained that they had heard a woman shouting for help. The cries appeared to becoming from the Great Bay beach.
The man quickly stripped down to his boxers and dove into the sea to rescue the woman. Persons looked on from a path going up the cliff where Fort Amsterdam is located.
When the two were safely on the rocks, the woman informed the guard that her stepfather was still in the water. The stepfather was rescued moments later by St. Maarten Harbour authorities who rode out on a jet ski and brought the man safely to shore.
Police arrived on the scene to take a statement from the pair. Both were clearly shaken, but needed no special medical attention. No ambulance was seen at the scene.
