A haunting new video has emerged that shows the panic and chaos aboard the boat in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship after he acted on a dare that turned deadly.

Footage shows Cameron Robbins splashing in the vast ocean waters, with no life jacket on and dressed only in swim trunks, as many of his fellow classmates are in shock while others are yelling in hysterics.

‘This kid f****** jumped off!’ said one person.

Another said, ‘Oh my f****** god. Oh, shut the f***  up. Oh, bye…bye… Oh … s***!’

As others called out to him, ‘Grab the buoy.. grab the buoy.’ 

But, video shows Robbins, who was a few feet away from the boat, suddenly drifting in the other direction and away from the buoy, before he disappears into the darkness, witnesses said. 

The US Coast Guard officially called off the search for Robbins late Friday, officials said.

Robbins had graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rogue only days prior and was celebrating his graduation when he jumped. This video shows the hysterics aboard the boat taking place, ‘Oh my f****** god. Oh, shut the f*** up. Oh, bye…bye… Oh … s***!’

 The photos shows dozens of the students aboard the sunset cruise ship that Robbins was on before he jumped after acting on a dare 

Witnesses claimed he was acting on a dare when he jumped overboard at 11.30pm off the Blackbeard’s Revenge sunset cruise ship, according to WAFB. 

The ship was near Athol Island an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau when Robbins leaped into the sea.

Robbins had graduated from the University High in Baton Rouge just days prior and was seen wearing his robe and smiling big in an Instagram photo taken days before his disappearance.

The star athlete was celebrating his recent graduation from high school with dozens of other seniors from other Baton Rogue High Schools including, U-High, Episcopal, Catholic, and St. Joseph’s Academy, were also on the trip, a parent told WAFB News. 

The students had only arrived to the island hours before the pirate-themed sunset boat excursion and had been staying at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, the parent said.

After Robbins had jumped, the boat and its crew members tried to locate him along with multiple agencies, including the US Coast Guard. 

The US Coast Guard District Seven deployed multiple search and rescue assets in response to obtaining assistance from their partners in the Royal Bahamas Defence Force. 

They plotted and searched a 325-square-mile search.
