RedactedNarrative: On June 8, 2022 at 1920 hours I, Officer responded to 12913 Ocean Gateway (Paradise Watersports) for a reported PWC accident without injuries.  Upon arrival I spoke with the two subject involved in the accident identifed as Operator1, and Operator2 who both stated the following.
  
      Both subjects were traveling in a westerly direction in the assigned riding area, which is at the entrance of Turrville Creek on the Isle of Wight Bay.  Both subjects stated they traveling at 25-30 mph, and Operator1 was slightly in front of  Operator2. Operator1 and Operator2 both observed other traffic ahead of them and began to change course, however they both changed course into each other.  This action caused Operator2 and Operator1 to collide into each other striking the port sides of both PWCS.  There were no injuries however there was extensive damage to both PWCS.  
  
      Operator2 and Operator1 both obtained their temporary boater safety card from Island Watersport just prior to taking the guided tour with Island Watersports.  Operator inexperience played a large role in this collision, along with excessive speed.
  
      I was able to speak with the guide who stated the following.   Guide stated that he had a small group with him, so he was able to watch the entire group.  Guide stated that he observed Operator1 and Operator2 traveling in a westerly direction with Operator1 slightly in front of Operator2.  Guide stated that both subject maneuvered to avoid other traffic, however they turned into each other and did not slow down.  Guide assessed both Operator1 and Operator2 and observed both subjects were not injured.
  
      The two PWCS involved were both 2022 Seadoo GTX 130,both PWCS sustained extensive fiberglass damage to the bow.  The owner of Paradise Watersports believes both of the PWCS are a total loss.
