Presumably they had no idea if the boat was on the bottom of the sea or not, and at what depth.

- shellfishgene 2y agoStill, rationally thinking, which is presuming a lot in the situation, I can't find any real advantage to the two tourists of having the dive guide not try.
- MaKey 2y agoMaybe they were just worried about his wellbeing.
- shellfishgene 2y agoThere reason she gave was "Stay with us because they are going to come to get our bodies" so I think they were beyond worrying about anyone's wellbeing :( What a nightmare.
- MaKey 2y agoI read it as "They are going to come to get our bodies so there is a chance we'll make it out of here alive if we just wait".
- shellfishgene 2y agoThat makes more sense than my interpretation!
- spuz 2y agoI would imagine they would be able to feel the movement and sound of the waves which would tell them they were still afloat.
- pridkett 2y agoMaybe not exactly at that point, but the article said they could hear the rescue helicopters, but still had to wait more than a day in darkness to be rescued. Noises are also very different above and below water - even when you’re in an air pocket. They knew they were still at the surface and trapped in a capsized vessel.
