: "Coming up to the surface from our free dive, my dive partner nearly has his head and body smashed into multiple times by an out-rigger canoe. Once by the hull of the boat, then from the oars of the boat, and then by the canoe's stabilizing rig. It was so close I thought my dive partner was going to be knocked out and I started to swim towards him which turns the GoPro away from the scene for a brief second, as I thought I was about to need to rescue him from injuries that I thought he was going to sustain from the boat hitting him."
