Clearly everyone here is speaking out of ignorance on how rescue dive operations really go. First of a special team would be comprised of divers and topside personnel trained to dive at night in unfavorable conditions.
Semper Paratus is the United States Coast Guard motto...meaning they are always ready. Divers are jumping out of helicopters to rescue persons in unfavorable conditions basically everyday.
Why can't our maritime military do the same. It's a fact that bad things happen in unfavorable conditions. The sea won't be calm and the sun won't always be shining when emergencies happen.
Our emergency management teams really need to get out of the mentality that everything happens in favorable conditions.
It was night time, but other than that the water was not unduly rough and the night sky was clear. Regardless of if he had a flight plan the response was piss poor at best.
Had they responded with properly trained divers and equipment to handle a night rescue scenario maybe he might have been rescued that night, at minimum a body recovered.
Stop making excuses for the lack of resources available to the RBDF. Fact is they need better trained personnel and specialized equipment. This isn't the first time they've dropped the ball on a sea rescue. Smh...
Hold on... didn't that boy go missing for over a week on the ocean, and they found him alive. Through God anything is possible ... he may just be out there clinging to hope and waiting.
Unfourtuntely this is a job for a commercial dive team consisting of trained saturation divers. As far as I know there is 1 female trained in Nassau, and 1 man in Freeport.
Hopefully they can bring a team in and work with the two locals and recover the plane.
They tried to do something but people voted no. That was one of the 2016 referendum questions. Enabling unmarried Bahamian men to pass on citizenship, the same way unmarried Bahamian women can.

They don't... I have long realized that Bahamians are used to the stupidity of this country that nothing fazes them.
We are a set of people who take whatever crap is handed to us wapped gold foil, and say we should be grateful.

The big issue is the RBDF and their obvious lack of resources.
But hey, our government has money to purchase hotels and pay staff to do nothing. Smh.

Exactly...they allowed propaganda rather than common sense to dictate how they voted. And shockingly many of them would have benefitted.
