A snorkelling boat named Sea Dragon, carrying 13 people including 11 Australians, capsized off Bali due to rough seas, resulting in the drowning of 39-year-old Anna Maree. The incident occurred as the tourists were admiring underwater scenes when a powerful wave struck, throwing Maree overboard, followed by another wave that capsized the boat. Rescue efforts led to 12 survivors being saved, and the maritime safety issues in Indonesia were highlighted again, as the country has a history of maritime accidents linked to overcrowding and poor safety regulations.
