Captain Dennis Mann, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On October 12, 2006, Captain Dennis Mann rescued a man from drowning, near Victoria, British Columbia. Upon realizing that the passenger had not resurfaced, Captain Mann immediately stopped the engine of the inflatable boat and dove to his rescue. He managed to partially free the victim, whose life vest had become caught in the boat's propeller. After performing underwater artificial respiration, Captain Mann freed the victim from his life vest and brought him back to the surface.
