British tourists who cherish the idyllic beaches of Ibiza should be reassured by the latest safety measures tested in Sant Antoni. On Tuesday, the local council conducted a large-scale emergency simulation at Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, aiming to bolster the island's response to serious aquatic accidents. This exercise simulated a snorkeler's accident involving a watercraft, triggering a comprehensive rescue and air evacuation drill. Teams from the Sant Antoni Beach Safety and Rescue Operations were put through their paces, working with lifeguards, boats, and the HELIMER rescue helicopter to secure and evacuate the 'victim'. The drill highlighted the importance of effective communication and coordination among various rescue services, ensuring that procedures remain robust and efficient. This kind of proactive preparation not only boosts the confidence of visitors but also underscores Ibiza's commitment to safety on its beloved shores.
