The Louisiana high school graduate who disappeared after leaping off a cruise ship into dark waters off the Bahamas last week may have met a grisly fate in the “shark-infested” area, a local official said. Overall, at least 32 shark attacks have been reported in the Bahamas since 1749, followed by 13 attacks in Cuba during that time period, including one in 2019, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.

Jamie believes the industry needs to improve passenger safety to help stop the recent cases of people falling overboard. Jamie believes that if the Man Overboard Detection Technology, which detects anyone going overboard, was installed in more cruise ships in the US and around the world, it could have saved more lives. Jamie Barnett, president of the non-profit organization International Cruise Victims Association, has been long-campaigning for legislation that helps protect passengers on cruise ships and increase the rights of victims. One person can be heard shouting 'bye bye' to the 18-year-old as he's in the water, as several people on board the cruise ship attempt to get his attention as he swims.

The video of Cameron in the water has gone viral since his disappearance and some viewers believe they've spotted something moving in the water which could be a shark. After Coast Guard crews searched more than 325 square miles, they concluded their efforts with the Royal Bahamas Defence Force on 27 May. However, experts are weighing in and saying that they don't believe a shark ended the high school senior's life. "So he's looking at whatever popped up out of the water, and instead of swimming toward the life ring he turns around at that point. Then, he disappeared beneath the surface and hasn’t been seen again, leading some to believe that he might have been attacked by a shark. According to witnesses, the teen — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off a party cruise into the ocean near Athol Island at night.

He had just landed in the Bahamas for a high school graduation trip when he was filmed jumping overboard a pirate-themed sunset cruise as a dare. Whatever happened to Cameron, the former University Laboratory School student has not been seen since his fellow passengers on the cruise ship saw him disappear from view shortly after going overboard. The mystery deepens into what really took the life of the high school graduate who disappeared after jumping off a tourist boat, reportedly on a dare. Chilling footage from that night shows the moment the teen jumps into the dark waters in his swimming trunks, with no life jacket, splashing several feet from the boat, before drifting into the darkness. 18-year-old Cameron, from Louisiana, US, disappeared after reportedly being urged to jump into the shark-infested waters without a life jacket on May 24. The International Shark Attack File, a database of all known shark attacks, shows that only 32 shark attacks have been reported in the Bahamas since 1949.

In December 2020, a fatal shark attack was reported in the French Caribbean territory of St. Martin, the first such incident in that region. Most of the 4,000 passengers aboard reportedly weren’t alerted to the incident until later that morning, when the ship’s captain made an announcement while many ate breakfast. A viral video showing 18-year-old Louisiana teen Cameron Robbins jumping into the water off a cruise boat in the Bahamas has raised concerns that he might have encountered a shark. Missing teenager and baseball star Cameron Robbins was let down by the cruise industry due to one "negligent fact", a safety campaigner has claimed.

‘Eye Drop Murderer’ Gets Life Sentence

18-year-old Cameron Robbins of Louisiana was celebrating his high school graduation on board the cruise ship in the Bahamas when he was filmed going overboard on 24 May. Video taken of the incident shows Mr Robbins swimming in the waters in almost complete darkness. Brian Trascher assisted in the search for Cameron as part of United Cajun Navy, a local volunteer group that assists in search and rescue efforts. A shark expert has given his thoughts on what might have happened during the last moments of Cameron Robbins, who was last seen jumping off a boat in the Bahamas, before disappearing beneath the dark water.

“He initially goes for the buoy but then turns around when he sees the shark, ultimately disappearing into the water, likely dragged down. “Haunting, but you can see the exact moment the shark gets him,” one Twitter user wrote alongside a screenshot of Robbins and the shadow just inches apart. At one point, the person in the water appears to turn and swim in the opposite direction of the lifesaver ring that was thrown overboard. A search party was was initially launched but on May 27, the United States Coast Guard, who had been assisting the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in the search, confirmed that the search had been concluded. "They get to very large sizes, and they eat big prey," Heithaus said, adding that sharks have incredible sensory systems and can be attracted to food, sounds, and smells in the water. Social media accounts for Parker showed that he was an outdoorsman who’d won a fishing tournament just weeks prior to his fatal leap.

"Your vision, judgment, everything is impaired and I can tell you that area, for the individual who reportedly jumped over, it is an area that is really shark-infested as well. People on the cruise ship begin to shout and call for the man to go to the lifesaver, only for someone to remark that the man is no longer visible. He said the Bahamas has a variety of shark species, the majority of which do not pay attention to people, except for bull sharks and tiger sharks. In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck.

"The industry loves to say that passenger safety is their number one concern but they certainly aren't putting their time, money, and attention where their mouth is. "Much change is needed in regards to the cruise industry's passenger safety and security policies", she said. "It is clear that the persons involved in both of these overboard incidents had likely been drinking heavily and somehow, the cruise lines are able to avoid any of the consequences of such irresponsible policies."

This is the highest figure in the region, with Cuba in second with 13 and Puerto Rico in third with 11. While not confirmed by the United States Coast Guard press release, Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Raymond King spoke to the media during the days of the search about the possibility of a shark attack. In the video, other guests upon the cruise ship can be heard swearing and eventually panicking as the footage allegedly shows Robbins getting pulled underneath the water. Worldwide, there were 137 shark attacks last year, 73 of them unprovoked, according to the International Shark Attack File. “Video taken immediately afterwards shows Robbins splashing in the water, a few feet from the boat.

A man who jumped to his death from a Royal Caribbean cruise last week was identified by media outlets Wednesday as Levion Parker, a 20-year-old Floridian who regularly posted about hunting and fishing. On May 24, 2023 the United Cajun Navy was contacted by a family friend of Cameron Robbins of Baton Rouge, LA, with an alert that the young man had gone missing off a vessel near Althol Island. Because of the missing person being both a US citizen and a minor, we knew that there were certain protocols outside of our normal deployment procedures that would have to be followed. "In this time of grief, we thank our family, friends and well wishers for granting us the privacy we need to properly remember our son and mourn his loss." Several others could be heard shouting to him that he's swimming away from a buoy which would have helped keep him afloat in the sea. The footage also contains the last words that Cameron may have heard before going missing that night on 24 May.

Moments later, he said Parker leaped into the sea without a trace from an area that housed whirlpools and hot tubs. In the wake of the incident, a GoFundMe was set up for the Robbins family, with the description saying the money was for ‘anything’ they might need. “They don’t believe … that he came in contact with any type of shark or predatory marine life. You can see the video and screenshot later in this article, but be forewarned that they are disturbing, and the caption uses graphic language also.

“The University Lab School Community is praying for the best possible outcome of this situation. I have been in touch with Cameron’s family and at this time, authorities are still searching for him in the Bahamas. Extra counselors will be available on campus to speak with students and faculty who are struggling to process this news. Our thoughts are with the Robbins family, and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts as well,” Mr George wrote. Mr Robbins was celebrating his graduation from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana by taking a trip to the Bahamas with other teenagers when the tragic incident occurred.

"Our thoughts and prayers have been and will remain with the Robbins family during this difficult time." Official search attempts for the 18-year-old were called off on 27 May as the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and the US Coast Guard Southeast were unable to locate him in the water. He was last seen paddling around in the water before disappearing from view, with the boat staying in place for several hours in an attempt to find Robbins. Cameron Robbins is an 18-year-old boy who recently graduated from high school at University Laboratory School, which operates as part of Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge. "The possibility of survival decreases significantly, particularly if a person is not adorned with a life vest and particularly if they are perceived to have been intoxicated.

Posts showed he played football for North Port High School, in southwest Florida, and graduated from there in 2022, reported the Daily Mail. Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Daily Mail that crew were “alerted immediately” by the “yelling” that erupted on deck after Parker’s leap. “When we got to them, he said to his dad, ‘I’ll fix this right now.’ And he jumped out the window in front of us all,” Sims said. Sims told the Post that Parker “appeared drunk,” and he spotted him arguing with his dad over the supposed drinking.

The group was aboard Blackbeard’s Revenge, a sunset cruise, on 24 May when Mr Robbins went overboard. Despite the fact Cameron jumped because of a dare, a group of his fellow students say they did try to physically prevent him from jumping off the ship, but were unable to stop him. There was speculation that this shadowy image might have been a shark since the area is known for tiger sharks and other aggressive species that attack humans. Robbins was last seen splashing in the dark, “shark-infested” waters a few feet from the boat, before vanishing from view.
