Panaji, February 2025: Four Russians, including three women, were dramatically rescued from drowning off Mandrem beach by Drishti Marine lifesavers on Thursday afternoon.

The three women, aged 27, 20 and 40 years, along with one man, aged 46 years, found themselves in distress, after sudden and unexpected, high waves surged in the area. The group had ventured into the water, just as the conditions quickly became unsafe for swimming.

All four foreigners panicked in the water and signalled for help. Recognising the distress signals, Drishti Marine lifesaver Jatin Girap, rushed into the water with a rescue board.

Another lifesaver, Sudhir Parab, on jetski, also joined in the rescue operation to get the four individuals to safety.

The successful rescue operation was conducted by Drishti Marine, whose trained lifesavers are responsible for beach safety along Goa’s coastline. The rescue team’s quick thinking and expertise were instrumental in preventing a potential tragedy.

Drishti Marine would like to remind beachgoers to always remain vigilant of sea conditions, avoid swimming in unsafe waters and heed the guidance of lifesavers for their own safety.
