Missing teen jumped off ship into ‘really shark infested’ water: official | New York Post

The Louisiana high school graduate who disappeared after leaping off a cruise ship into dark waters off the Bahamas last week may have met a grisly fate in the “shark-infested” area, a local official said.
The waters off Athol Island, where 18-year-old Cameron Robbins was last seen swimming after jumping off the Blackbeard’s Revenge sunset cruise on May 24, are “really shark-infested,” Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF) Commodore Raymond King told The Daily Mail on Tuesday.
A chaotic video taken moments after the jump overboard also shows the Baton Rouge native ignoring onlookers’ pleas for him to grab a buoy and swim in the opposite direction - prompting social media sleuths to suggest that a silvery reflection near the boat’s hull may have actually been a shark that scared him off.

[@jamesbond98908]

Sadly you can see the sharks got him. You know that kid yelling bye bye is extremely disturbing - it’s like he’s mocking this kid just before he gets eaten by sharks. You can see the water is totally calm, and you can see he is treading water just fine, then you see a rather large silvery something or other swimming around and kinda toward him and the buoy; looks like shark went for the bouy at first then you see the kid get spooked and start swimming away from the buoy, still treading water just fine… but then suddenly and very quickly just sinks in the water… I’m no expert but doesn’t take more than a few second to realize when you jump into shark infested waters, at the time when sharks like to hunt, loud noises, and things “being thrown from the boat” (sharks perspective), it’s more than completely obvious what happened. But that disturbing creepy kid yelling bye-bye is just really bone chilling. Whose idea was it to put a bunch of kids unsupervised on a boat at night in literally shark infested waters?? This is creepier than a lot of the sicko movies out there. Very disturbing!

[@tavatavatavi9446]

I wouldn’t say it’s obvious that it was a shark. Sharks don’t commonly attack. That’s just a common fear that people carry. Not to say it never happens but sharks aren’t what most people think they are. The current created by the boat likely pulled him down.

[@knowsmebyname]

They are not kids. They are 18 year olds. They are adults. This was an accident. People will learn and it won't happen again.

[@theprofessor8219]

​@TavaTava Tavi the problem is sharks are way more likely to attack seeing dusk and dawn. This looks like night sharks are active then. Also when you splash like he did it draws the attention of sharks. Shark attacks are most commonly mistakes ans since there's poor visibility it makes it extremely likely that a shark would mistake him for something. Sharks are opportunistic

For centuries ships have conditioned sharks to follow them for food and other things thrown out into the water. This guy jumped onto a shark’s dinner plate.

[@YampaYak-vd1xo]

Exactly. Plus it was at night when they like to feed. Somebody made a comment about how this disproves what people say about sharks not wanting to eat people. But this means nothing. The kid jumped in under the worst conditions possible. Those sharks follow boats for multiple reasons. The kids may have thrown food into the sharks right before. The sharks were basically trained to follow the boat and attack stuff that falls in the water

[@DENISEDOLLFACE]

You can see the shark swimming by the buoy. You hear a girl screaming in terror in the background, I’m sure she saw the shark. He notices the shark and tries to swim in the opposite direction- shark pulls him under & you can see that he disappears. It’s so sad how we’re regressing as a society. So desensitized from reality & from what really matters. The “bye bye”was probably the last thing he heard, too. Such an unfortunate outcome.

[@UnscrupulousAgitator]

I saw the shark but had to watch the ending again. I can't tell if he just got out of camera view or was pulled under by a shark. Either way he did "disappear", and my guess is it was the shark he was fleeing from

There's gotta be cruise cameras showing the kid jump. There's no way there's no footage of the point where he disappeared.

He cannonballed off a cruise ship (quite high up) into shark infested waters AT NIGHT (when sharks hunt most frequently) making a HUGE splash (something which attracts sharks) in the Bahamas.
