Check out this story. 14 people on a 25 foot boat sank today at French Reef.

That seems like too many people.... is that normal to have that many people?

Sounds crazy to me.

Wreck Dive!

I wouldn't be surprised if the recommended limit of the boat was 7-8...

Maybe a whale shark swam by and everyone ran over to the gunnel to see it

Rainbow Reef's Tropical Odyssey rescued them. Good job Tropical Odyssey (and Captain Jim if that was you)! That would have been an interesting RR dive trip.

I assume you tip when you get rescued too right?

Crew James, Phil, Fletch, Andi and Jen.

Their website doesn't show a 25ft boat, the closest is a 30 Ft Island Hopper, it says it is registered to carry 10 divers or 15 snorkellers.

That's hilarious! ...maybe $10 for every mile away from shore?
