I agree with everything you said. I am trained as a rescue diver to perform an underwater rescue and have done so on 4 occasions, with mixed outcomes. However, my point is, this is a typical case where a CA judge, or in this case, State Supreme Court, obscures and twists the intent. This type of bench legislation follows true with the states color, red or blue, and opens the door for ambulance chasers.

My dealings were in San Diego. I was not a party in the suit but it still forced me to acquire an umbrella policy to protect my ass(ets), to be able to volunteer as a recue diver.
