Cameron Robbins, a Louisiana resident, was celebrating his high school graduation when he was reportedly dared to jump overboard on a cruise. Coast Guard District Seven deployed multiple search and rescue assets in response to an agency assistance request from our partners in the Royal Bahamas Defence Force. The US Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defense Force spent two days searching the waters for any sign of Robbins before suspending their efforts, as is their protocol if they cannot find any trace of an individual missing at sea. Marine creatures, such as sharks, are “smart enough to realize that’s a boat that comes out all the time and it’s going to have food coming off,” Hendricks, who has developed rescue methods in 15 countries, told The Post. He noted that boats such as the one Robbins and his classmates had been on often serve food that is then dumped or spilled into the water, which can attract marine life, such as sharks. “We’ve consulted with oceanography and fisheries experts,” said Brian Trascher, vice president and spokesperson for the United Cajun Navy, a nonprofit that has worked with the Robbins family.

Other comments reinforced viewers’ intention to not swim in the ocean and stick strictly to man-made pools to avoid encountering sharks. That was when out of nowhere, sharks came into view of the GoPro camera and one quickly darted into the camera night light, before swimming off quickly. The 18-year-old baseball star was last seen on board a boat called Blackbeard’s Revenge, before he jumped into the water.

The group was aboard Blackbeard’s Revenge, a sunset cruise, on 24 May when Mr Robbins went overboard. 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. 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. "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. But Hendricks, whose rescue and recovery training company is one of the oldest in the nation, also wondered whether Robbins could have lost his breath after jumping from the boat.

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. 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. Hendricks, no stranger to search-and-rescue procedures, said officials likely scoured the surface for any evidence floating in the water.

Grainy cellphone footage shows recent Louisiana high school graduate Cameron Robbins swimming in Bahamian waters at night, but as the camera pans left for a second, he disappears — never to be seen again. The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles.

A Greek photographer has gone on to disturb his viewers with a video of his deep-sea GoPro footage underneath and alongside a cruise ship. There has been much speculation about what happened to the Louisiana teenager since his disappearance, which took place after he dived into the water - allegedly as a dare - during a sunset pirate-themed cruise aboard the ship.

Cameron Robbins, an 18-year-old high school graduate, has been missing since 24 May, when he fell overboard on a sunset cruise ship into waters near the Bahamas. 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. Last year, viral footage showed the moment a young man jumped off a cruise ship in the Bahamas for a dare before and was allegedly preyed upon by sharks. 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." A terrifying video of his last moments shows Cameron swimming away from a rescue buoy as teens on the boat urge him to grab it — while flashes of what some online viewers say appear to be sharks seem to close in on him. 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.

UCN also arranged for a charter boat to take the Robbins’ out to the MOB area, as well as other parts of the search area where US and Bahamian officials had been working since early on May 24th. WAFB-TV reported that Robbins, a high school baseball player, was on a trip for his graduation. He also abruptly swims the other direction in a hurry as if he was trying to get away,” the Twitter user, Steve Johnson, wrote. Daily Mail reported that a shark would explain why Robbins appears to swim away from life preservers once in the water. As for tiger sharks, which are known to swim in the waters off Athol Island, “they can take a very large chunk,” Hendricks said. Cameron Robbins, 18, graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge in May and was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools.

“They don’t believe … that he came in contact with any type of shark or predatory marine life. The haunting video footage shows Robbins swimming away from a rescue buoy as onlookers shout for him to grab the device. Robbins graduated from the University Lab School in Baton Rouge three days before he vanished in the “shark-infested” waters off Athol Island. Efforts by the coast guard from nearby Nassau and Robbins’ family were called off after two days when no trace of the teenager was found. Robbins was last seen splashing in the dark, “shark-infested” waters a few feet from the boat, before vanishing from view. 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.

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. UCN also learned that the parents of Robbins had been in contact with US Representative Garrett Graves (Louisiana 6th District) to arrange emergency travel to the Bahamas. UCN arranged for the lodging of the Robbins family while they were meeting with local Bahamian investigators.

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. In the video, after lowering the camera in the water while the cruise ship is anchored, viewers were initially happy to see a school of fish perplexed at the foreign object that had dropped into their neck of the woods. 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.
