MOTHER,YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL .
Seems fake
Hard to believe they would fake it.
I really don’t want to believe that they faked this.
If it’s fake, it’s sick that an entire family would agree to doing this
@Matthew Mc is this fake? If so I will have people approach this family and they will be met with aggression
Just curious… for backpacking I have a GPS emergency beacon that will send my location to Search and Rescue in a major emergency.
Isn’t there something similar for diving? Either to S&R or just to your partners on the boat?
There’s similar gps device’s for boaters but divers and freedive spearfishers rarely have them while diving
Yeah so those gps locators usually activate when they get to a certain depth in the water and or off contact with water. For obvious reasons they wouldnt work while diving
There is a product that could help that is non tech.
I am completely unaffiliated but have never forgotten the See Rescue Streamer from Shark Tank.
I’m legit serious- please look it up, y’all. It is good for just about any conditions and REALLY elevates your chance of rescue visibility.
“It’s a miracle mother of man”
that rhymes
It just blows my mind how something like this can happen. Everyone on the boat had to literally forget that Dylan was with them.
They weren’t. He was alone and his boat got swept away by a strong current. The family heard he was missing and came to the rescue.
@ZmAn MoToRs How could they hear he was missing if he was alone? It just doesn’t add up.
I’ve seen other stories where a diver is forgotten by groups and left to die.
It’s supremely stupid to be out there like that completely alone.
@ZmAn MoToRs He was with friends. He surfaceed and saw the boat taking off. It says he didn’t see the boat and his friends were gone.
@Shawn he went with a group he found on Facebook….not friends…not in his own boat….I’m grateful for him being found so quickly in extremely SHARK infested waters
Grandpop is the man!! God blessed this family!!!
Get a tracker next time bro, gotta watch those underwater currents
This is the definition of a family. They wasn’t playing lt waiting .. something that came over her and told her to slow down was the presents of our father.
Definitely Devine Intervention!🙏🙌🔥
Yes
YAsssssssssssss!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
You touched his leg? What is that anker thinking?
That’s crazy amazing. WOW
Awesome story
I don’t believe them
Imagine being him when he was found. Probably something like “oh thank god! A boat, hopefully it’s the coast guard or some kind people who can help me. Is that my family?!?” Glad he’s ok
🤣🤣 the odds tho
“Fish out of water”
How awesome
Take my tears dam imagine the relief
GOD IS GREAT ALL THE TIME 🙏❤️🙌
Tip of the day: NEVER go diving with strangers from facebook🤯🤦♀️
This ☝️
That guy was not fazed!
Is this publicity act? Wtf
Like hit a jackpot.
MILF
I got lost in a swimming pool!!!
Amazing.
Grandpa ain’t playing.
GOD Bless them.
I am SO GLAD that his family did not give up!!! :::
I love this mother. She grabbed his knee while watching the video of his rescue – she must have been feeling it all over it again.
❗🥲🥲👏
As the mother of one, a son…I would be out of control. I’d hunt the entire ocean until I found my son. When she said to slow down & just listen, that was her spirit knowing the spirit she carried for 9 months. It’s a bizarre mother/son connection.
His mom???? What a hottie!!! Looks like his sister!!!
He’s lucky it was still light
Real goot news…please stop mixxing ur coverage withe phone chrgr tht does not work a scam…I bought one n conned n swindled by not being 2 opt out was charged 4 two @ 54$…Im a senior on fixed income and my phone is damaged 4 using it…Im n need of help 4 damages done 2 me by that Scam…!!!
This Family should be so thankful for another-chance and He shouldn’t be out in the sea again don’t waste your chance to be alive again 😊
Since seeing this I’ll buy a waterproof gps radio from west marine.
Lucky the FAMILY rescued him because the Coast Guard only “find” migrants so they can be sent back.
God has plans for this young man’s Life.
A true miracle!!!
