I didn't see this in any of the CR spanish or english newspapers.

Three cheers for this Gringo and the one that helped. Lucky boy. Additionally lucky they knew good CPR because that's about 50-60 minutes to the hospital in Quepos.

I know Dominical is treacherous due to the bravo surf and alot of big rocks, but 50 drowning deaths a year there alone does sound high.

As the article says, this includes present/former lifeguards. Treacherous indeed for the rip current: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riptide
Extracted from Brother DGD's mention is the phone # of a group looking to provide life guard service there (011) (506) 08331-7707
These kinds of things help overturn at least a measure of anti-Gringo sentiment.
