V1 was drifting approximately four miles south of Duck Key with two divers in the water.  On board V1 was one occupant standing on the rear swim platform and the operator in the cockpit.  The V1 operator told the occupant to "get in".  The occupant jumped back into the water as the operator moved to the helm on the fly bridge.  The V1 operator not seeing the occupant at the swim platform put the engine controls into reverse gear. The occupant, now in the water adjacent to the swim platform (swimmer) was struck by the propellers of V1.     She received lacerations to both legs and was airlifted to Ryder Trauma for treatment.  She was released from Ryder Trauma 8/10/2012.
