I dropped REV cable services in October, but I will be messaging them to arrange this small refund. Times tough.

So half the size of the ExxonValdez oil spill... Which was environmental disaster of global proportions. SMH

Nobody is surprised here. Not quite sure why the Shanty Town matter is still in front of the courts. It needs to be dealt with ASAP. More crime, disease, and illegality will only happen until this area is legally regulated, like it should be.

Cable Bahamas is garbage. I won't even bother reading the article. At the first opportunity, I will be canceling my subscription, and getting a streaming service. They can't even keep basic channels like cnbc, cnn, or ESPN, on the air. They are all frequently down. garbage!!!

Sounds like he was fishing illegally in the park... These shark stories are always very poorly reported.

No, it has always been my principal not to support. Obviously particularly illegal employment, of gardeners/landscapers and handymen... When you see cars driving around, without plates, those are mostly Hatians, that can't legally own vehicles, due to their illegal status. It is disgraceful that police regularly ignore these vehicles. They are parked all over Marsh Harbour, and it is irritating to residents that are actually required to follow the laws or else.

Still waiting on an answer from the M.P. about why the Mud and Peas, and the surrounding illegal shanty towns will be regulated. Last year at this time, they implied the Shanty Towns would receive additional time until July 2019. Well it is July 2019, and I don't think the illegal shanty towns, will help in future inspections of the port, particularly due to the proximity.

WHY do the middle class have to burden the majority of all the taxes, and have marginal buying power, while illegals steal electricity, live in structurally illegal buildings, operate illegal un-taxed business within these communities? Illegal immigrants can't work so crime inevitably increases, diseases increase such as tuberculosis and HIV.

This entire area demands regulation!!! Marsh Harbour is going to the dogs...

I guess this has nothing to do with the fact that he just speared a hog fish. It must be because people are feeding sharks.

This is such a ridiculous thing to suggest.

In the incident off of Rose Island it was right off Sandytoes, and although no one is talking about it, they dump food scraps off of the back dock, in the same are the lady was bitten. Sandytoes should disclose where there food scraps are disposed of, so that pleasure boaters are at least aware.

In this incident the person was spearing and had just speared a hog fish, that flap erratically.

If you are in the water without a stimulus, sharks won't bother you. If you go in the water in the are of fishing or food disposal you are putting yourself at risk.

They already have highly trained dive teams. The RBPF have dive times that actually check the cruiships for bombs etc. The RBDF have adequate dive teams too that are trained. I would say that these night rescue dives in 50-80' are not dives that they train for, as in they don't do an exercise replicating a similar incident like this.

In absolutely perfect conditions with the right boat captain, and dive team, as well as a backup dive team, I would say to do this particular dive, but without all that in place I don't agree, with just sending divers out at night, because A LOT can go wrong.

Night dives are extremely dangerous and require a lot of planning. In bad weather doing a rushed unplanned dive, is asking for problems. The loss of life is unfortunate, but they (the family) are not being reasonable. RBDF divers could have easily gotten lost, disoriented, or drifted away from the boat, with the current resulting in another loss of life. Diving at 50' in the dark requires decent conditions, and a lot of planning, from dive team, to the team on the deck.
