"A diver who was hospitalized after being struck by a Miami-Dade Police Department boat Wednesday afternoon ..... he Miami-Dade Police Department boat was leaving a safety stop when its engine struck Covey." Can anyone please explain how the hell that happens?
I used to scuba dive. When there are divers in the water you're supposed to display a "diver down" flag on your boat to alert nearby boats to steer clear lest you mow over one with your boat as was this man's unfortunate circumstance. Did he come in off shore? Did he dive down with a snorkel and NOT scuba gear? I gotta tell you, it's pretty freakin' noisy underwater, no real way you don't hear a boat motor above you. If the guy was dumb enough to be snorkeling around boats coming or going... Having his arse slashed by a boat engine propeller will cure him of that particular stupid behavior.
