    Absolutely. This is unacceptable. Can I bring my elderly Parents here in November? I'm not sure now. And I was not expecting first rate medical attention. I was, however, expecting SOME medical attention!

    instead of prohibiting it altogether, cant they put up safety buoys....so everyone stays in their own area..Being a snorkeler...I am thinking of ways to NOT get hit now...carry a tube... or some other float-able that would make me easier to see..any thoughts?

    There are buoys that they are supposed to ride beyond. Those big red ones. But no one does. I was almost hit by a jet ski and I was in the swimming area just a few yards from the beach (this was less than a year ago). Also saw on of the operators (not someone renting a jet ski) ride right through the roped off swim area at Yellow Bird just minutes after some small children were playing there. I went to the hotelier and told him I wanted to take to the police. He said he’d take care of it. Before I got back to my friends on the beach the number of jet skis were greatly reduced. And those that were still there were now riding outside the buoys. Hummmmm? How did they know a complaint was being made and the police were being called? Of course, the police didn’t show up until the next day. (Anyone surprised by that?) When I wrote a trip report I said “Nothing is going to be done until someone is seriously injured or killed.” Sorry this had to come to pass but it was just a matter of time. My sympathy goes out to his friends and family.

    Juls they make a little floating dive/snorkel Buoy that attaches to your wrist that marks where you are and has minimal drag..... Just an FYI...

    When we were there the seas were rough so all the ropes and buoys had been pulled into the beach. I am guessing that they likely weren't put back out. Not that it would matter I have seen some of those Jet Ski guys drive right over them anyway. The posting of a video is a pretty low thing to do not sure if I would have been there that I would have even allowed someone to video tape something like that. Its a twisted world out there.
    Some people were born in the wrong century....I was born in the wrong country!
