Easier said than done... a lot of these guys don't want any regulations and rules. They feel cause their grandpapi and his grandpapi before did it this way and nothing happened, then it's ok.
Sadly that's the mentality that keeps The Bahamas in the dark ages.

Cause they probably know what they are doing. They were diving using compressed air, there are tables for decompression, as well as ascension rates to prevent this type of thing from happening. I hope this shows why we need to regulate the fishing industry. Anyone can be out here with a compressor talking about they diving for fish. Smh

RIP to these two men.

This is exactly why we need a regulating body such as OSHA here. There are too many unsafe practices being done with no one to monitor.

If they had been under a standard, first thing would have been to use a O2 detector to read the O2 levels, secondly once they would have gotten the reading the space would have to be vented the entire time someone was in it, and lastly with an enclosed space continuous monitoring would happen, which includes having someone stationed outside the entry to continue monitoring the air quality.

Smh...a needless and tragic waste of three lives cause as usual anything goes in The Bahamas. Smh...

Same old bullshit from RBDF... they did the same thing when the plane with the young man went down off Love Beach 2 years ago. They supposedly have the equipment, yet they never seem to be doing the right thing
Smh...once again RBDF drops the ball on a search that is time sensitive. That area is known for sharks and there is the wall drop off as well.
I hope they can at least recover his body to give the family closure. 🙏

So tired of the tit for tat political games. Whatever the FNM does the PLP promises to do opposite and vice versa.

Nothing new is ever brought to the table, just a constant back and forth on the same issues. Smh

Not being shady, but what if that wasn't the man's son, could be why no DNA match came back. #ijs #sorry

I do hope they bring closure for these families soon.

I wonder if it was caused by a lightning strike from the thunderstorms last night?

Wait let me understand this, he married a Canadian woman and was in the process of getting Canadian citizenship. Now he wants the Bahamian government to help get him back "home".
Kml... that's some bs if I've ever heard any. He literally was in the process of becoming the citizen of another country. And now that it fell through wants to come back and bring his foreign wife (who cause she's married to a Bahamians man can now apply for citizenship) to live here in The Bahamas.

Am I the only person who sees something wrong with this?Let him stay stuck in Canada, no one sent him up there looking for citizenship. Smh... don't come now looking for the government to bail you out. There are too many Bahamians that don't have the luxury of leaving the country that need help right here in The Bahamas.

You can't win in this country, this man attempted to evade police by driving a speeding vehicle towards them. It's obvious that the man had a reason for attempting to evade the police, and one can assume it's was something illegal. Now had said man been allowed to speed off and escape and then later was involved in something illegal, there would be the cry about crime being high and the police aren't doing anything.

No matter which way the wind blows it seems Bahamians can't be please with how the police handle matters. Let the criminals run amok they cry, apprehend them and they cry. For goodness sake, what do Bahamians want from the police?

Innocent people rarely run from the law... and they definitely don't aim a speeding car at the police. It was a bad decision on his part, and sadly it cost him his life.

Could possibly be shallow water blackout and then he drowned. I'm assuming if they were spearfishing this was being done free diving (as is the law), so shallow water blackout is a possibility.

In any event condolences to his family.
