You wouldn't dive into the 47-degree water around Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska unless somebody's life depended on it. But the captain of a salmon fishing vessel did just that, for that reason, back on July 25.
When his boat,"Grayling," took on too much water, a nearby vessel tried to tow it to land. But the boat rolled over. Captain Rosvik and others were picked up by the rescue boat, but one crewman was still missing.
As the Coast Guard arrived, the captain dove back into that frigid water, hauled out the man in trouble, and saved his life with five minutes of CPR. The Coast Guard got a camera on the rescue (below, with no sound).
