I can't swim myself, and I wouldn't get on a tube with 2 dinghy's strapped to my body. I sure hope the friends who convinced him to go on that boat ride now raise the 7 kids he left behind.
Dive teams should stop wasting their time recovering this body.

It really is mind-boggling isn't it. As soon as he got on that inner tube he had probably had a 50% chance of dying. Not great odds. I have never tried riding on an inner tube on a back of the boat but I have to assume most people fall in the water at some point.
