Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King has told the Daily Mail the the water in that area are “really shark-infested,” which has fueled the shark-attack theory. But Robbins appears to head in the opposite direction of the buoy after what appears to be a shark is seen next to it. "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.

A few hours after checking in, Robbins and the other newly minted high-school grads boarded the Pirate’s Revenge boat for an evening pleasure cruise near the uninhabited Athol Island, located north of Nassau. The video capturing Robbins’ final moments has been viewed more than 10 millions on TikTok, and Web sleuths have edited the footage to slow it down and brighten it in a bid to shed light on what happened, but ultimately without success. The boat stayed in the area that night for hours after the incident as people looked for Robbins.

The parents of an 18-year-old high school graduate who fell overboard on a sunset cruise in the Bahamas have broken their silence. Kevin George, the director of the school, told local news outlet WBRZ that Robbins was a "special kid." The US Coast Guard and local Bahaman authorities spent days looking for Robbins before calling off their search last week after scouring more than 325 square miles of ocean.

A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free. Three days later, Robbins and his friends joined graduates from other schools for a celebratory trip to the Bahamas, staying at the Atlantis Paradise Resort. “We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends,” said Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas. Officials say they are investigating reports that the recent Louisiana teen, who played baseball, jumped off on a dare. In the video, Robbins, 18, can be seen in dark waters with a standout white figure, resembling a shark, appearing on the left screen. The 18-year-old baseball star was last seen on board a boat called Blackbeard’s Revenge, before he jumped into the water.

The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles. The boat, designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours as crew members tried to find the teen. In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck. The ship continued on its voyage back to Fort Lauderdale shortly after, leaving the search up to the Coast Guard. 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. Jamie believes the industry needs to improve passenger safety to help stop the recent cases of people falling overboard.

The small, pirate-lookalike cruise ship was anchored throughout the night, and the students were stuck at sea near the uninhabited island in what Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King called "shark-infested waters." And now a cruise ship safety campaigner has slammed the industry for failing to act responsibly after the ship was allegedly serving passengers alcohol all night. “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.

The Baton Rouge native, along with his classmates, had been staying at the Atlantis Paradise Resort and took a sunset cruise on the ship. Kevin McMurray runs a website called trackingsharks.com, and dedicates himself to collecting stories and information about shark attacks around the globe. Loved ones reportedly witnessed Parker jump off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas cruise liner in what appeared to be an “impulsive leap,” the Post reported last week, citing a witness. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Parker on Wednesday, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported, just a day after the Coast Guard officially called off their search for the previously unidentified man. Florida deputies did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Daily Beast. Jamie believes the cruise industry does not take into consideration how much a passenger has drunk, which puts them at an increased risk of danger.

Robbins was last seen splashing in the dark, “shark-infested” waters a few feet from the boat, before vanishing from view. Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Daily Mail that crew were “alerted immediately” by the “yelling” that erupted on deck after Parker’s leap. She tragically lost her daughter Ashley after she died while onboard a cruise ship to Ensenada in 2006. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force contacted the US Coast Guard, District Seven around 11.30pm local time to report Mr Robbins had fallen overboard, according to a statement from the Coast Guard.

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. Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Raymond King said in a video posted to Facebook that the area where Mr Robbins allegedly jumped into, “is an area that is really shark-infested”. Douglas adds that while conspiracy theories can be meant as a salve, they do have real-world consequences. And while Robbins is no longer here, he is survived by a grieving community — all of whom will have access to the things people are saying about their loved one. “He will be missed desperately by his family and friends,” his obituary read, “who will carry their cherished memories of him to eternity.” For Robbins’ sake, and the sake of his family, the internet should let him rest. The US Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defence Force spent several days searching for Cameron before suspending their efforts on 27 May.

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. 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. An 18-year-old boy from Louisiana was celebrating his recent high school graduation during a sunset cruise in the Bahamas Wednesday when he reportedly jumped overboard on a dare, triggering a large-scale search. If cruise ships regulated how much passengers were drinking, Cameron may have not jumped overboard, she believes. 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. Mr Robbins and others on the trip were aboard a sunset cruise on a ship called Blackbeard’s Revenge on the evening on 24 May when Mr Robbins was allegedly dared to jump off the boat.

A few days after Robbins’ disappearance, his family travelled from Louisiana to the Bahamas to take part in the search and visit the area where he was last seen, before returning home Sunday. Two days after Robbins went missing in the water, May 28, the search was called off after he was nowhere to be seen. Made to look like a pirate ship from the 18th century, prices go from $75 per adult and $42 per child.

"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. 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. 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. The Blackbeard’s Revenge, which is designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins.

In celebration of graduation, Mr Robbins and other teenagers were on a trip to the Bahamas and staying at the Atlantis Paradise resort in Nassau, Louisiana State University confirmed to NBC News. 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 are with the Robbins Family during this incredibly difficult time. Out of respect for the Robbins family’s privacy, we feel it’s inappropriate to comment on the details surrounding the night of the incident. "None of the experts consulted can definitely say what's in the video due to the quality and length of the video," Trascher said. "The Robbins family has requested that we not entertain that theory any longer, so our official position is that we don't know what happened while Cam was in the water."

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. This is the highest figure in the region, with Cuba in second with 13 and Puerto Rico in third with 11. “He initially goes for the buoy but then turns around when he sees the shark, ultimately disappearing into the water, likely dragged down. The principal released a statement on behalf of the school, saying that the University Lab School community was praying for Robbins’ safe return. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force, assisted by the US Coast Guard Southeast, has been searching for the missing teen from the air, but so far without success. Social media accounts for Parker showed that he was an outdoorsman who’d won a fishing tournament just weeks prior to his fatal leap.
