#NBCNews #Florida #Rescue
God sent those things to help him.
It wasn’t god. It was luck. Right place,right time. But calling it a miracle (I.e walking on water) does make for a better story
That’s God for sure! I am rejoicing with you in this miracle!!! I am so glad Dillon is alive and well!
So no one is gonna NBC of reporting a great story coming out of FL?
Mama bear to the rescue ! Great story.
Welcome home Dillon!!!!!
Yasssss!!!!!
Giggle giggle. Dam females. Really not funny.
Guarantee you the goof goes right back out diving again.
Lol dummy.
That is definitely GOD!
Gotta be embarrassing when civilians do a better job then you.
Coast guard is lagging it that sucks or this story fake as dolly partons tatas
Keep playing with the sea. She’ll getcha next time
Was there a reason why “That’s God” was cut off from the story? I don’t like that
That was God, for sure!!!
God is Love
Thank you Heavenly Father!!
“And that’s God!” Yes it is. ❤️🙏🏼
Yayyyy :]] glad they found him safe ! A lot of love in that family
Miracle, indeed. ❤
A miracle of God!
For the love of God please dive with another person next time! We don’t want to lose you again
It’s a like a psychic thing. It can’t be explained. Aggregation?? Idk what it is.
And that’s God…. Cut it cut it CUT IT!!!
Good God! That was a one in a million rescue! I live in Florida. If the current takes you, there often little hope of coming back alive. I’m so happy for that family!
Try one more time with nice video. Everyone can enjoy.
NOTHIN BUUUUT WOOOOOOW!!
GODS GRACE💞✝️💞🥰
The Mom brought me to tears , she is incredible . Thank God Dylan was found safely and his family are the ones who found him . Awesome
I feel like people do stupid things sometimes without regard.
Another rich kid story …
Did God make him lost to begin with?
He made him lost so that he could also take credit for finding what he lost in the first place. its how u stay the boss of all things for so long mess up than say i fixed it but dont tell anyone it was u that broke it🙏😊
She said “and that’s God”….amen to that! So glad they found him as it truly was a miracle just as they said!
And that’s God.
Funny how they cut her off once she started to thank God…🤔
Free diving is reckless. And I say this as a scuba diver.
They need to be wearing GPS trackers when they go out like that.
They would not have found him if it wasn’t for his last gps ping
Wow just wow.
God was with him for sure. Man if that was me in that water I would have panicked. Then begin to pray like I never prayed before. Good to see Dylan safe and sound. Nothing like a happy ending 😌. But his mom closing words was the icing on the cake. That was definitely God.
So god didn’t give a sh*t or forgot about the other divers who have experienced the same thing? Genuinely curious how that works.
Praise God! Another miracle.
I’m glad this young man is safe. His family really loves him.❤🙏😁
Would have been to the locate the driver if he had color dye that could be released into the ocean !
So happy for you.
Well hopefully Dylan has learned a valuable lesson from his nde. I bet his mom is going to kick his butt if he ever goes deep sea diving without at least a GPS tag again!!
If I was diving out in the ocean I’d atleast have an Apple Watch on…that would’ve been useful in this situation ! Glad he’s ok !
I’m so happy for your family and this happy outcome!!!
Ehh not so sure about this one..now im no expert ofc but someone gon have to explain how did they know to have the camera ready for this miraculous recovery if this was a search party..I doubt your really going to be thinking “hey let’s film this” if tour truly panicking looking for a loved one possibly lost at sea …those waters did look choppy so how did Dylan miraculously find a bouy in the middle of the ocean and be able to cling to it…the wool will not be pulled over my eyes haha
Yuup i just seen them on tv and seems fake the mom and son did like set up
Wow. I hope some tjay have never seen or spent a lot of time on the ocean. That’s lcukier than a needle in a haystack. That’s very very very lucky.
Allmost like to good to be true😏
A mother’s love is powerful. We are naturally drawn to our children… We always have an internal compass that leads us to our children. I believe most crimes would be solved if they had a mom’s to the rescue squad. Many people leave it up to the authorities. When we can get the job done ourselves. Imagine if she had left it up to the authorities , Her child wouldn’t have had this outcome. I appreciate their hard work, but I’m not leaving anything up to them when it comes to my child. If a building is burning, I’m going in.
That’s God.
Awesome story. They better NOT get a speeding ticket… 🙂
Wow for once Im watching a story of someone actually surviving vs countless murders and mass shootings
He put himself in harms way , then his mom took out 4 Manatees by driving through canal , so fast !! Entitlement! Doing dangerous things and except everyone to bail you out !!
Other mothers would’ve been like, “Well I guess that’s it…he’s with God now!”
Imagine being in the open ocean, alone, in pitch black night…freakin nightmare fuel
Right on, finally some good news in this crazy world
That sinking heart feeling. I know how it feels.
I also know the joy and life changing moments when you finally see the light .
And that’s God! In Jesus Christ name Amen!
Reason #123323333444334 you are paying too much in taxes
The untrained people found him faster than the people who steal your tax $ and are trained for literally nothing other than finding people 🤔
Exactly sounds fishy so coast guard just had a bunch of rookies out that day nobody knew what they were doing🤔
Unreal. This is so cool
The part about the “EX husband” was played no problems, but the second she started to praise God; they cut her off.
She said “and that’s Go…”
It makes me a bit suspicious, is it possible that the God stuff isn’t all bs, why does a big network cut off any God talk when it comes to a scene like this?
Praise God!!!
Listen, do stupid things, win stupid prizes
And that’s God…Amen
Thats the type of mom you want!! You know she’ll start world wars for her kids!! 👏🏽
No that’s not God finding your kid it’s the efforts of the Coast Guard and any other authorities and yourselves looking for your son and even with all that it could’ve ended in a different way were you didn’t find your son and he died would that have been God no just be lucky that you found them this time
Wow that’s a miracle! So happy to see good news in the middle of all the shooting and crazy people out there! Take this seconds chance God has given you 🙏🏽
That is a miracle. If you need proof, that is proof of the spiritual connection of love.
He got extremely lucky. I’m going to go as far as to say that God has a plan for him.
🫠👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A mother’s love.
God is amazing
Beautiful story !!!!! Thank you god for this American miracle
Yes, that is God!
Notice they cut out the part right before she was about to give thanks to god.
Solo freediving ? Darwin cheated today, but he is infinitely patient.
Wow.
He found buoys, what are the chances?
Look at God
Mom power! The power of Love❤️
How lucky was that??? I cannot believe it. This youngman was blessed to the 10th power
OMG!!! What an awesome story!!
Man get the granddad a marine engine sponsorship! He was pushing that boat hard! Guy needs another engine at least.
Amen! 🙏🏼 Thats GOD honey!
You said it right!
God Bless ya’ll and him!
Just be nice to live there
I’ve always had nightmares about this. But I still jump in that ocean without Thinkin
God bless all of you! Amazing family ❤️
God why do these clowns think gos was there looking down gtfoh
Police constantly use their multi-million helicopter for people who won’t show I.D.. But they won’t use them to find teenagers swept out by currents.
❤️
I am agnostic but I would agree. That is god. Whatever that is.
“I’m a free diver. I go 150+ feet with no breathing equipment”. My friends, this is what you call NATURAL SELECTION. If humans weren’t built for this….DONT DO IT.
I enjoy hearing this mom gratitude towards God. She took the time to acknowledge him in that moment. All glory to God!!!
“… and that’s God” 💕
This great ending made my whole month way way way better, am so happy for him and his family and friends.
This is why other branches of the military make fun of the Coast Guard.
Family: Do you see anything? Have you found him yet?
CG: We’re looking FROM A HELICOPTER, but we don’t see anything.
Family: Fine, we’ll do it ourselves!
Quite simple. Wasn’t his time.
Good news. ❤
What a beautiful ending , so glad they were able to find him!
