Boater Strikes 2 Snorkelers Off Hollywood Beach; Bad “Karma”

By Editor • Jul 8th, 2009 • Category: Uncategorized

According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, law enforcement officials are searching for the captain of a 26-foot boat called Karma after a father and son snorkeling 200 yards off Hollywood on July 5 say the vessel struck them.

“The snorkelers hit by the boat — Rudy Perez, 43, and his son, Christian, 15, of Pembroke Pines — are fine, but officials want to find and speak to the boater who fled,” the media outlet reports.

The incident occurred two days after the end of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Dive Flag Awareness Week. The campaign educates divers on presenting their flags properly and boaters on staying at least 300 feet away in open water.
