Video from a Coast Guard helicopter captured part of a dramatic save.
The rescue swimmer — who was on his first rescue just after graduating from the Coast Guard's rescue swimmer program — was lowered from the helicopter by a cable.
But just then a huge wave slammed and rolled the boat.
The swimmer managed to locate the man in the surf and pulled him to safety aboard.
