- Shows what lifeguards do in the off-season.
- A group of lifeguards from a Southern California beach heads south during the off-season. We spend a day with them as they leave their camp and paddle their surf boards in search of abalone and lobster, which they sell to yacht owners in the area. A moray eel, a shark, a giant octopus, and rough seas each present their own threats. Teamwork, rescue skills, and strong swimming play a part in getting through the day. "If that's a life of fun and sport," intones the narrator, "I'll take vanilla."—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- It's the end of the Southern California beach season, and its lifeguards head off to warmer climes in search of a combination of other marine based work and some fun. A group head off to a southern hemisphere beach, where they do a combination of surfing, undersea exploring and hunting. With specialized but simple equipment such as pressurized goggles, surfboards with an underwater viewing window, aeroguns, and protective shoes and gloves, they go diving - without the use of air tanks - in search of abalone, oysters, and lobsters, which although have no claws, have needle-sharp points which can cause severe injury to anyone who comes in contact with one. Moray eels pose a danger to the divers and need to be killed. Other dangers lurk, live ones such as sharks and octopi, and non-animal ones such as rough seas, powerful currents, and sharp rocks. But they always travel in a pack as a safety precaution in case one gets into trouble. They sell their catches to be able to buy their own necessities.—Huggo
