I live near a large lake. We have boating accidents all the time. There are general safe boating rules and People/Swimmers need to use common sense. We had a lady jump off a boat this spring during a busy boating day where boats were at a dock and had her arm cut off.

One new law that NC did recently is you can't drive a boat or jet ski until you are 26 unless you have taken a boating safety class.

I think more resorts should have a snorkeling area like Ramons and tourist should be given safety tips for the island in general.
I don't think any new rules or laws will change that accidents happen. I think all the island can do is try to educate the boat drivers, residents and tourist.
