Unhappy Re: Sad Thanksgiving Day news: Woman dies after dive boat capsizes off Fla. coast

OMG - May her soul rest in eternal peace.

What terrible news. Thanks Chad for your on-scene pics.

Being a twin hull design she is very stable and fast. The gas outboard engines eliminate nauseating diesel fumes. The Coral Princess has two tanks racks behind each seat and storage underneath.
