Two lifeguards jumped into the sea, a speedboat was sent out, and a quad and an ambulance were drafted in when the female was seen apparently in serious difficulties and calling for help off the shores of a beach in San Javier (Murcia).
Once rescuers reached her, they discovered it had all been a set-up 'for a laugh'.
Given that the lifeguards had put their own safety at risk and the use of resources and vehicles were occupied trying to save her instead of being available for use in genuine cases, the team called the Local Police who demanded she explain herself.
It is believed she was arrested and later freed, but may end up with a fine for wasting emergency services' time.
