Exactly 3.31am thank you. I was not talking about oceans, lakes and ponds on this island or any other island. This terrible incident happened in CAYMAN in the SEA! Where quite a lot of deaths have unfortunately happened, and taken not only the lives of tourists but indeed our very own here also……….some people are so petty and write uncalled for ridiculous comments about such a sad loss. You need a proper job 11.58am. You clearly got too much time on your hands.
He unfortunately died on a wave runner, this was nothing to do with snorkeling.
Another victim to Cayman’s seas yet again! So sad. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.
People also die on oceans, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, estuaries and canals for example. So please stop demonizing our sea.
RIP Sir.
It was a statement nothing more, go take your pills and relax. There is much more to worry about in Cayman.
Those pills will kill you.
