At night you wouldn't see the full outline of a shark that's submerged unless you had a bright light pointed directly at it, but you would see the whitewater from a wave that's breaking. Not to mention, sharks are dark on top, which that little blip is not.
I haven't actually seen any official reports from people on the boat. I don't understand this shark story, if the camera could pick him up at night than almost certainly those on the boat could see if it was a shark attack? I have to assume at least someone on the boat was sober enough to give a report?

I don’t think a strong current or a big wave took him away. I think it was a shark OR he was so confused once in the water, he swam away.
I read the first 20 or so pages just to see what all happened and if there were any updates. When I checked back there 40 something pages so I looked at the last page and people were saying shark. I just thought of boy here goes the OT again, but after seeing the video I don't know what the hell to think. I don't know if you'd call it pareidolia or frequency illusion but I could see a wave or a reflection or a shark depending on what I'm looking for. I wouldn't say it's definitely a shark, but if that theory is true then what's seen in the video makes a lot of sense

I tend to think at least one person on the boat would have seen or heard something if it were really a shark attack.

Yea it would not have been quiet and there would be a ton of blood in the water

Has anyone actually 100% confirmed he was intoxicated? Kids especially recent HS graduates on a senior trip do stupid shite sober. Especially when dared. I have yet to see anything reported he was for sure intoxicated by friends he was with?
Anyone that knows anything isn’t going to be talking at this point. Someone a few pages back that said their kid was there said the whole dare thing was not real, probably trying to protect the kids involved. Parents got their kids back now, they are all gonna shut their mouths unless some kid wants to get some e-clout does something stupid.

Watch it frame by frame around 8-9 second mark. No one is talking about that. They are focusing on the 3 second mark. Something comes up behind or under him at that point. Not saying its a shark but watch and see what you think.

Anyone else notice the national media stories about the shark all refer back to speculation from "online sleuths" who noticed a shadowy object in the water?
Not a single witness, kid crew or parent on the boat saw this shark. But it's THERE!
frickin retard OTers doin work and makin the news.

Occam’s razor.
He considers the buoy first, but it looks far away and requires him to swim toward dark open water.
He ultimately makes the fatal decision to swim to the back of the boat instead and is swept out to sea.
The “shadowy object” is just a wave filmed in poor light.

Looking at the tide tables in Nassau Harbor there's only a couple of feet difference between high and low tide. So not an extreme current.

If I had a friend overboard I would have thrown a life ring out and then gone ballistic running around looking for anything that would float and throw it over board…
Did they just throw one life ring and nothing else?… I am not watching the video as it is to disturbing for me.

That makes sense. I saw somewhere else that the bot was in water depth about 16 feet?
It did not look like the open seas where he was swimming. It looked as calm as a lake.

The whole thing happened in like 20 seconds. I'm sure most of the people on the boat didn't even know what was going on until he was out of sight.

3 second mark looks like it could be a shark. The 8-9 sec mark looks like water disturbance made by his feet as he was kicking.

I read the tide tables too. There is almost a three foot range. !!! Look at the cut through the island look at Nassau Harbor. When the water is changing three feet there is current, a lot of it.
Have you ever fished shrimp with a paupiere. ? Three feet is a good range.

After watching the video a few times, what made me assume it was a shark was the fact he was going to the life ring then something made him turn the opposite way. With that said, what can be mistaken as a shark could be a reflection. It could have been a dolphin as for as we know..

You need to watch the video. They were laughing and calm b/c he was casually swimming around after jumping in. He never showed any kind of urgency or panic.
Nobody on the boat panicked until he went under.

He was causally treading water and I don't think most people on that boat would have thought he was in a life or death situation. When he turned and swam towards the back of the boat he disappeared out of sight quick.

I think the strobe light gives the appearance that he disappeared. If you look closely through the net, when the light goes from red to green you can see that he’s still on the surface treading.

And he went under because of the HUGE SHARK that everyone can clearly see at the 3 second mark and that he immediately started swimming away from
The kid who said "he's gone" said that because he was being attacked. He went from casually swimming to "gone" in like 3 seconds. Nobody would have said "he's gone" if he was just being gently swept away by a current - they'd have been screaming at the boat crew to turn around
