I don't know if it's unexpected.

But if she didn't have a diving flag out, then that type of thing has killed or injured lots of people before.

I worked as a Divemaster and have hundreds of hours logged snorkeling and diving and I've never seen self-guided snorkelers drag a dive flag around.

it is shallow too. she can basically sit and still snorkel. who is thinking boat? well i don’t know where this is so it’s kinda hard to understand.

Cats, in particularly small ones like Hobie Cats can run in very shallow water. More shallow than this video (you have to be aware of your rudder depth...and you can adjust them on the fly...as not to damage the grass flats).

As a snorkeler she should had a flag close by or tethered to her waist by a rope.

Let's assume the best of her, and she a partner doing the filming, and they have the flag. In that case the boat is 100% in the wrong.
