The Operator of Vessel 1, with four persons on board, was headed into the beach area at idle speed with one person being towed on a tube behind Vessel 1, when the parties aboard Vessel 1 observed that the Victim (on the tube) was having a seizure.  The Victim had a history of seizures and black outs and was on several medications (Depacote, Vicodin, Xanax) at the time of the incident.  The Victim fell off the tube as a result of the seizure at which time the Operator of Vessel 1 stopped Vessel 1 and jumped into the water to assist the Victim in rolling her face up out of the water.  Watercraft Officers arrived on scene after being alerted by other boaters in the area and transported the Victim to shore where emergency services arrived on scene to assist the Victim and transport her to the hospital.
