Personal Watercraft Insurance, Changing Water Levels Tip Three Underwater Hazards
The biggest danger is the hazards that you cannot see. Low water levels whether due to tides, drought or other reason, often unveil numerous underwater obstacles that pose a threat to large and small vessels alike. In addition to exposing the seabed and grounding boats, low water levels often reveals sandbars, submerged vessels, stumps, rocks and even coral reefs that can cause a boat to run aground or even capsize if the operator is not prepared to react quickly. In opposition heavy rainfall can create high water levels in inland lakes that submerge sandbars and other obstacles but wash logs and other debris into the water that may remain floating just below the surface out of site but still able to damage your boat.
