Safety is everyones responsibility. Snorklers must do so in a safe manner as must boat drivers. Driving a boat brings with it the responsibiliy to do so safely, and that means not runing over a coral head, log or person.

Now circumstances dictate whether someone is at fault as opposed to responsible. The fact remains that anyone operating a vehicle, boat, plane, automobile etc., is responsible for its safe operation. If they hit something, they are responsible for that, whether they are at fault depends on the circumstances.
