Info on Glass bottom that sank/swamped yesterday

[Kicker1866]

Was at Fonatur this morning and saw them trying to trailer the glass bottom that either sank or was swamped yesterday afternoon at Punta Sur.

I was told the Capt went out with snorkelers despite bad seas.

Can anyone elaborate on this? How many pax did he have? Everyone ok?

Cozumel, Q.R. — Four Cozumel fishermen were pulled from the sea Thursday after their boat sank.

The four were near Punta Sur when their boat began to take on water, forcing the crew out. One crew member managed to swim to shore, while the other three waited with life vests for a rescue.

The fishermen say that it was shortly after 7:00 p.m. when they headed out in their boat and noticed that it was taking on water due to the high waves, however, there was nothing they could do. Within minutes, the boat had capsized.

A nearby boat who witnessed the sinking was quick to the scene, pulling the men on board to safety.

This from one of the local groups:

the boat that sunk today was over night because of a crack in the glass frame , the boat that sunk in punta sur was not a glass bottom boat and was coming from playa.

So it appears there are multiple conflicting stories, or at least there are a lot of missing details ...

Or two boats. I don’t think fishermen use glass bottom boats. It also sounds like the boat the fisherman were on did not make it back to the harbor

I wonder if there are any boats from Playa that can operate legally in the Marine Park.

"Glass", as in fiberglass.
