Shows 2 jetskis narrowly missing a subsistence spear fisherman around
lunchtime. The jetskiers probably don't see the swimmer, because they are
chasing each other ,and a third jetski, dangerously, at maximum speed.
Note that the water is very flat, and if there was any wind, the small
waves that would result from the wind would make it even more difficult
to see the swimmer. Note also that there are no other factors that
would make it difficult to see the swimmer - like sun in the eyes
of the driver, or reflection off the water.

Another jetski comes roaring by, he does not see the swimmer, and fortunately,
he misses him by a few inches. The fisherman was shaking when he swam to
shore and got out of the water. He went home. he could barely speak.

Later, another Jetski zips by. This jetskier does not see the
swimmer either. Both passenger and driver are looking straight ahead,
wind in their eyes, looking into the distance..

Jetskis narrowly missing a swimmer, who was shouting at them, but they
didn't even hear him even when he started shouting "Hoy! may Tao!"
.
The driver of the first jetski sees him, only as he passes. Both driver
and passenger turn their heads to see him behind the jetski. They barely
miss him, and he passes between the 2 jetskis. Had their course been a
few degrees left or right, one of the jetskis would probably have killed
him.
