The family of missing Louisiana baseball star Cameron Robbins have retraced his final steps after he jumped off a party boat into shark infested waters. 

Cameron Robbins, 18, was last seen in the waters around Athol Island, Bahamas, last week after he leaped from the Blackbeard's Revenge party boat into shark infested waters. 

Footage shows Robbins swimming in the water as a life preserver is thrown out to him and classmates tell him to grab on. 

But the teenager seems to be fixated on a shadowy shape which appears in the water and immediately begins swimming away.

Speaking to WBRZ, United Cajun Navy Vice President Brian Trascher said that his family traveled to the Bahamas and retraced his final movements.

He said: 'It took a lot of strength for them to go out there and stay for a few days. 

'When we offered to take them out in a boat to the area where he went overboard and some of the area they were searching they went.

'I know had to be very emotional for them, but they went and by Sunday they decided they wanted to go home.

'Had they found a piece of clothing or any kind of clue, that would cause them to extend that 48-hour period, but if they don't get any kind of indication then that's usually when they call it off.'

The video has sparked speculation online that Robbins may have met his end after a shark went after him. People have claimed they can clearly see a shark in the video.

Earlier this week, Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF) Commodore Raymond King confirmed that the area where Robbins went overboard is 'really shark infested.'

The Bahamas is home to highly aggressive sharks including tiger and bull sharks. 

Witnesses claimed Robbins was acting on a dare when he jumped overboard at 11.30pm from the Blackbeard's Revenge sunset cruise ship.
