RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling SE over a shoal to go fishing and drove through a group of 5 snorkelers that did not have a dive flag.  One person was struck by the vessel.  Minor injuries.  
  
  They stated they were snorkeling behind Shell Island, and a charter vessel, (FL 1747 RS), operated by Operator1 was driving toward  them full speed.  Bree stated she was on a separate vessel and saw Operator1 driving towards her family in the water.  She yelled at them to wave their arms so that Operator1 would see them.  
  
  The subjects in the water saw the vessel driving towards them and started waving their arms and yelling.  The five people were in a circle in the water.  Operator1 drove right through the middle of them on plane, running over Victim.  I asked his parents if they had a dive flag.  They stated they did not have one.  They also later stated that they were about 150 feet from their boat.  Victim had a cut on his right shin, right knee, 2 cuts on his left thigh, small cuts on the back of his left hand, one on his left chest and one on his left bicep.
