**Marshall
**Skye
**Rocky

**Cali
**Wally
*Zuma appears on the title card for this episode, making him the first pup to ever appear on an episode's title card.
**Skye and Zuma are the first responders in this episode, making them the first pups in the series to be called upon first by Ryder. This makes this episode the first episode where Skye and Zuma are first deployed together exclusively as a duo.

*This is the first appearance of Ryder and Zuma in their scuba gear.
* This is the first time that the animation on the pup screen is in 3D, when Ryder is addressing the issue.
*This is the first time Skye is seen with a hair curler in her fur.
*Rubble speaks to the audience when he shows up, making him the very first character to pull off a fourth wall gag while also being the very first character to ever appear in the series.
*Although Zuma appears on the title card, it is Rocky's voice that reads the title card.
*Cap'n Turbot plays "Taps" on his snorkel as the Flounder sinks. This might be a reference to the Titanic, where the band played music as the ship sank.
*This episode has a slightly different animation style, likely due to the fact it is the pilot episode.
*This is the first episode where Rocky takes a bath, much to his aversion to water.
*This is the first episode involving a water rescue.
*In South Korea, this episode, as well as "Pups Fall Festival", "Pups Save the Sea Turtles", and "Pups and the Very Big Baby", all aired on New Year's Day 2016.
*Hulu incorrectly displays this episode and its sister episode ("Pups Fall Festival") as S1:E15 when it's supposed to be S1:E1. S1:E15 is "Pups Save a Hoedown" / "Pups Save Alex".
*When Cali is tossing away the towels Rocky is to the left of Skye, as indicated by the chair she was sitting on. However, after the camera cuts to Katie and back, Rocky is to the right of Skye's chair.
*After the first try of getting the Flounder unstuck, Zuma is with his pup-pack. After Ryder asks Cap'n Turbot to throw something heavy out of the Flounder, he is without his pup-pack.
*When Ryder goes down the Lookout pole, his hair is shiny at the back and it looks reddish.
