Issa Mohammed Al Falasi was on a fishing trip when he noticed a person being carried away by the waves, at a distance. Without hesitation, he swiftly swung into action and rescued the individual.
Al Falasi went on to provide first aid and then realised that there were nine more people aboard the boat who needed immediate assistance.
