      When it’s someone’s life and one of your own, that’s why they took the boat out. That 20 minutes more on the water could’ve given him health issues.
      I thank god they found him. His mother was hysterical . It’s like you bore that child. Your face was the first one your kid sees and vice versa .

      The Bad News- You are naturally born with a sinful nature and have broken at least one of the law (10 commandments) at least once in your life (Example: a lie) (James 2-10 says if you break one of these laws, its the same as breaking them all), so because of this you're on your way to hell already, everyone is (Romans 3-23)
      The Gospel (Good News): JESUS, Who is GOD in the flesh, came into the world and died for us, to free us from the curse of the law (10 commandments) and ressurected on the third day so that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM will not perish but have everlasting life! GOD said this! GOD cannot lie (Titus 1-2, Hebrews 6-18) we can lie because we are sinners. JESUS saved us already (Colossians 2 13-14) Just BELIEVE and TRUST in HIM! HIM ALONE, anyone who gives you another Gospel, whether an angel or one of us, let him be accursed, like it says in (Galatians 1 6-9) JESUS ALONE! Not religion, Trust in HIM and you will receive the GIFT of THE HOLY SPIRIT. GOD HIMSELF! JESUS said "Repent ye and BELIEVE the GOSPEL" (Mark 1-15). AMEN!

      The searching must start right the way and it must be done in circles that formed from where they despaired and must go from inside to outside because the water can take you anywhere around that area. And when you get lost at the night and you can't see the shore make sure you stay still saving your energy once the sun come out start swimming in the direction if the sun because the sun always come out in the west what mostly the time is over the land. During the night we can also find a way back to the land if you you know how to read the stars!

    As reported by The Daily Mail, Dylan along with his two friends went for a final dive around the West Sambo Reef when he got caught in a current that drew him below the surface and spat him around a mile away. Dylan’s friends who managed to save themselves immediately notified the US Coast Guard and his family, prompting them to launch an immediate search operation before the sun sets in.
    It was around three hours from the time he went missing in the shark-infested water, while his family rigorously searched for him. His family finally found him floating near a reef and managed to rescue him safely.

    My childhood friends brother in law, Tim Obey, went missing off Jacksonville beach while scuba diving almost two years ago. It’s the most gut wrenching feeling to hear that they can’t find someone on the ocean, you can’t help but go to a dark place almost immediately. He is gone, but not forgotten.

      OMG those I shouldn't be alive episodes. Where professionals miss the lost. It's too difficult to see them in the water. Maybe they have better equipment nowadays. Because I've seen some horror stories about this kind of rescue. People were attacked by sharks n jelly fish. That one I shouldn't be alive episode where they was in this boat. Completely exposed n the sharks kept attacking them. The survivor said that the dolphins came to their rescue. Running the sharks off. But they was like out there for days 5 days or more. Their prize boat had capsized n they manage to transfer to the smaller boat. The captain n his girlfriend did not survive. The captain decided to go to the store he thought he seen. He n this other dude. Started drinking the sea water n the captains GF injuries from the first boat escape killed her. Ohh n the two survivors. Saw the captain the other victim get eaten by sharks right there in front of them. When the GF died. They pushed her over board. The two survivors was rescued by coast guards. Yes this time they saw them. But ohh yes. This is a dope family. Id hope my family or whoever didn't wait for rescue either. I damn sure wouldn't. If my fam out there n I can help it. I swear. I'm going to get mine. Plus it's dark too. Dope this family is fricking DOPE.

      He was scuba diving with a cousin and a friend and the current took him under. By the time he surfaced he was hundreds of feet away from their boat. Dylan was able to see his friend and cousin on the boat, but they couldn’t see him. They even drove around for 30 minutes looking for him but since their dive boat didn’t have lights on it- they had to go to their grandfathers house and get his bigger boat. They had contacted the coast guard but couldn’t and didn’t want to wait for them. So they set out using the coordinates of where he was last seen and they thankfully found him floating on a bamboo stick and also some bouies he cut and made into a raft.
