So as I was perusing FB a moment ago I got word of a snorkeling accident that happened at 8:30 this morning. It's sounding like a situation that got ugly quick. 4 people were stranded in high surf on the crater itself and one of them ended up drowning. A female crew member attempted to make a rescue and due to being tied to the vessel, she got injured when a heavy wave rocked the boat and jerked her hard. She got a spinal injury. The Coast Guard rescued the remaining three.
I'm sure there is a lot more to the story. The word gets out quickly. We did have rough weather forecast for today so that doesn't mix well. Personally, I cancelled my dives for today and slept in while this was going down. It was expected to be raining hard and I don't care much for diving in the rain.
