    Imagine being him when he was found. Probably something like “oh thank god! A boat, hopefully it’s the coast guard or some kind people who can help me. Is that my family?!?” Glad he’s ok

    As the mother of one, a son...I would be out of control. I'd hunt the entire ocean until I found my son. When she said to slow down & just listen, that was her spirit knowing the spirit she carried for 9 months. It's a bizarre mother/son connection.

    There is a product that could help that is non tech. I am completely unaffiliated but have never forgotten the See Rescue Streamer from Shark Tank. I'm legit serious- please look it up, y'all. It is good for just about any conditions and REALLY elevates your chance of rescue visibility.

    I call fake. Why filming when on the boat? Shouldn't you be looking? Also, he drifted THAT far in what....max of 6 minutes?? So that current must've been going 20mph? Also you never dive solo...and carry a DSMB. And...why wasn't the coast guard out looking instead of the family? Whole thing seems phony...but if it is real, I'm glad he is safe!
