Many times when we are returning from diving, when we pass by cruise ships docked there the seas suddenly get a lot rougher. It seems like the wave action may be funneled and concentrated in the area to seaward of the ships.

This is the boat we saw coming around the cruise ships. The captain of the Aldora III was towing the capsized boat to shore. The passengers had already been pulled out but the crew of the capsized boat were hanging onto it. It was very rough in that area due to the wind direction.

Yep it's a point and the wall is pretty shear, just north the slope becomes much less. The end of the piers is almost to the wall and perpendicular to the current. It gets very bouncy

The dive boats I am on always slow down when they get to this point; possibly the boat that capsized did not do that.

Wait until the 4th cruise ship pier is built, It Is planned to go out near Sunset Beach with the actual pier parallel and just inside the wall going north to around Stingray prison. This will put transits from Paradise till past the car ferry outside the wall in the rough (deeper) water. I would expect the pier structure to effect the wave pattern.

Or... it slowed down and like a ski boat at a public lake full of big boats, the nose took a dive and flooded.
