RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 / Vessel #1 stated: "On the day of the incident, my passenger asked if she can get into the water, as we were waiting for Seatow to pull us out of the shallows, I told her it would be ok, but not to jump or dive into the water as we are in only about 1 to 1/1/2 feet of water, she said ok and hopped off the back of the boat, and immediately started screaming in pain, and thought she broke her ankle. Which later we found out to be true. As soon as I got her back on the boat, I called seatow again and reported that I had an injured friend on board, they called the coast guard, the toms river police and other authorities. Finally after about 15 minutes, paramedics pulled up next to us and took my hurt passenger away".
  
  Victim #1 stated: "I was hot so I jumped in and it was shallow".
