RedactedNarrative: Snorkeler from V1 was accidentally struck by prop when V1’s momentum crossed paths with snorkeler. Snorkeler suffered non-life-threating laceration to his calf. On July 30th, 2021, VICTIM as well as the operator/owner of the vessel later identified as OPERATOR 1 was interviewed by me regarding this incident that had occurred. Per VICTIM’s and OPERATOR 1 witness statements, they explained to me that they were bayside on the south side of Long Key Bridge located in Layton Florida. With just the two of them on the vessel, they explain how they threw out their marker, had a dive flag present and VICTIM jumped in the water to scout holes. As VICTIM was in the water, OPERATOR 1 was still on board the vessel when he started a notice a vessel that was coming extremely close to VICTIM in the water. OPERATOR 1 then put his vessel in gear to attempt to use it as a barrier from the oncoming vessel that was heading towards VICTIM. He then states that he took the vessel out of gear. As VICTIM was approaching the vessel to board, he claims that the inertia from the vessel just being in motion stuck him under the vessel causing his left leg to get struck on the propeller. VICTIM received a laceration to the back side of his left leg. VICTIM received a small laceration on the back side of his left leg.
