Snorkeling anywhere in the Bahamas is taking somewhat of a chance of being attacked by a shark. Let's guess that 1/3 of our 6 million tourists go snorkeling per year. Maybe 1 attack a year. That's a 1 in two million chance of getting bit. Lots go swim with the nurse sharks at Compass Cay. They get about 2 to 3 bites a day there. Not bad bites as they have small teeth, but that's what sharks do. Swim in the sea at your own risk unfortunately! I really feel sad for this family.
Regulations do not matter in this instance. This boat was in an accident previous to this explosion where the the accident cause the gas tank to crack and was leaking very badly. The owner and staff knew this and because of greed and lack of concern for safety, continued to operate like this. The owner told them not to fill the tank as it leaked so badly. On this particular day they mistakenly filled it and boom! It was a bomb waiting to explode. These are facts, and the fact that he never had insurance or licences for his boats, yet somehow had a business license shows the corruption throughout. FNM or PLP, it makes no difference. You need boat licenses before you can get a business license! The captain had no license either, although the report said he did. The problem is, there is no penalty for operating without proper documentation, so it actually encourages the greedy to do this.
Lot's of people commenting who know absolutely nothing about what they are talking about. Mr Gray's statements are totally illogical, hence stupid. How could 7 pigs die all at the same time from eating sand?!? They have been eating food with sand on it for years and years. For them to die at the same time, obviously they ate or drank something poisonous (food left in the sun or hard liquor).

Yet more property going to be sold for millions, out of the price range of even the most upper of middle class Bahamian.
We continue to be shoved to the middle of the islands, poor and kept away from the ocean shores.

Biggest blame is the local Exuma contact scammer who saw an opportunity to make some money and had no clue what he was doing.
