Charter boat leaves 2 people in middle of ocean - GoFuckYourself.com

Pipecrew · 10-04-2011, 07:33 AM

Crazy enough, I was on the same boat when this happened.

I was freediving and freedivers are usually the first people in the water and last people out. I was the last one out, or so they thought. I would have been pissed if they left my ass out there.

Lazy Captain. Sloppy work kills people. First rule is count your divers and never leave until everyone is back on board. If I were RJ I would fire that captain immediately. He'll be lucky if he keeps his license.

That's just plain crazy...

sperbonzo · 10-04-2011, 07:44 AM

I dove off of that boat once... total trainwreck... too many divers, bad dive master, total zoo. I never have since... (I mostly dive off of my own boat).

The hyperbole in the beginning of the article was hilarious though...

"It’s a terrifying thought that probably crosses the mind of every deep-sea diver – to resurface after a dive, only to discover that the boat that dropped you off is gone. And that predators in the waters are preparing to pounce. And the currents are swift and strong. And night is rapidly approaching."

LMAO!! Seriously? They make it sound like these guys were 20 miles offshore, instead of a mile offshore, in a current that will simply sweep you north along the coast, (rather than away from shore), and tons of boat traffic.

Myself and a buddy were once separated from my buddies boat by a strong current off of Miami. I just inflated my "safety sausage" and waited... My biggest fear was of getting run down by some idiot, there are so many boats out there. Took us about an hour to get picked up

Yeah i hear ya, I dive those spots a lot and let me tell you, they had the strongest currents I've ever experienced that day. I think those people were lucky to grab onto what they could. Coupled with the fact that it was getting dark, they were lucky any boat traffic spotted them.

There was a lot of negligence that day, the divemaster jumped off the boat early and did his own thing (catching lobster)

I knew the movie Open Water would be mentioned in this thread.

After Jaws I never thought another shark movie would freak me out, but... it did.

brassmonkey · 10-04-2011, 08:40 AM

id never get in there

potter · 10-04-2011, 08:52 AM

Incidents like this happen every year, thankfully the people left out there were found in this one.

TheDA · 10-04-2011, 09:02 AM

Would never happen with Captain Stabbin' on board.

They should call the Nautilus for rescue.

magicmike · 10-04-2011, 09:17 AM

Oh man would that ever suck, go punch the guy in the face the left them behind.

Rochard · 10-04-2011, 09:19 AM

If your the captain of a boat and you left two people behind, you should be shot. How the fuck can that happen? Do a head check - twice.
