New duty: the capsized yacht
Central Tower calls Code Red.
A yacht has gone over offshore. Debris on the surface, people in the water, and not everyone got out of the hull.
You take the jet ski out, and from there it is on you. Going under means diving beneath the hull and into the flooded cabin. Find them, get the rescue tube on them, bring them up.
Then the standard procedure: the tow back, the run up the sand, airway check, rescue breaths, compressions, and the hope that nobody is still down there.

The ocean got a full pass
A big part of lifeguard duties happens on the water or under it, so the ocean was the first thing we rebuilt for Early Access. New surface, swell that actually moves the jet ski and the swimmer, and waterline transitions that hold together when your head drops below the surface.
Underwater, light now comes through from above, so depth reads as depth.
What this is building toward
This is Early Access prep, and it is where most of our time goes right now. Thanks to every Lifeguard who sent feedback and bug reports after the demo.
More from the Central Tower soon.
Yours,
Lifeguard Simulator Team
