ERROR RG P4 15.4.1998 Ms Rosheena Beek, fiancee of Al-Ruelle Shamsid-Deen, who died in a boating accident on Sunday, has asked The Royal Gazette to make clear that Mr.

Shamsid-Deen had been divorced for years.

Tough new restrictions are set to be imposed on jet skiers after a man died in a collision between a boat and one of the high-powered craft on Sunday night.

A report on jet skis is already being re-written and new guidelines are set to ban the machines from beaches later this month.

Last night, Al-Reulle Shamsid-Deen's grieving fiancee called for a complete ban on night use of the hard-to-spot vessels.

Rosheena Beek, due to marry the former Reuben Simmons when his divorce came through, said: "There should be a curfew about when they're out on the water.

"We stay right on North Shore -- this was a disaster waiting to happen.

"You constantly see them at night being driven without lights and without due care -- it's very reckless.'' Ms Beek, mother of two of victim Al-Reulle Shamsid-Deen's four children, Al-Reulle, 4, and Rosheena, 2, added she was stunned by the tragedy.

She said: "Al-Reulle was a keen fisherman -- he was a man who loved life and he was doing what he loved best right up to the end.'' Transport Minister Wayne Furbert said: "First of all I would like to express my condolences to all affected by this tragic accident.

"Yes, there is a report into jet skis and Toursim Minister David Dodwell and I will be making an announcement -- hopefully by the end of this month.

"We are looking more at education issues than anything else but there will also be restrictions banning riders from certain areas, like beaches.

"At the moment, we are not proposing a limit on the number of jet skis allowed in Bermuda but there will certainly be some severe restrictions.'' Environment Minister Irving Pearman -- who sat on the committee -- said its report had been discussed by Cabinet.

But he added: "We still have to go forward and develop regulations. This tragic accident is something we will have to take a very hard look at.'' The committee was formed last year after complaints about safety aspects and noise from jet ski operations.

Mr. Pearman was speaking after Mr. Shamsid-Deen, 50, known as Reuben Simmons until he took a Muslim name around 15 years ago, died when the tiny fishing boat was rammed by a jetski in a night-time smash off Devonshire Dock on Sunday.

Public Safety Minister Quinton Edness said he would be taking up the jetski issue in light of the accident.

Mr. Edness said: "There is going to have to be a way found to strictly curtail the activities of these machines.'' He added: "We have evidence that in many places, speed is too high, these vehicles are being abused and that there is carelessness in handling them where children are swimming.'' Jet ski tragedy Self-employed stonemason/contractor Mr. Simmons and a friend were on a night fishing trip when the accident happened, less than 300 metres from shore.

The victim, who was sitting in the bow of the boat, was thrown into the water by the impact. His friend, known as `Bootsie' Wilson, is understood to have escaped the crash without injury.

Private craft joined Marine Police boats Heron Three and Rescue One -- on the scene in just 20 minutes -- in a desperate search for the missing man.

Parachute flares -- more efficient than spotlights over water -- were used and underwater lighting was set up by the Marine Police diving team.

Spotlights were used to cover the shoreline. Mr. Shamsid-Deen's body was later recovered from the water by Police divers.

A Police spokeswoman said: "Everyone involved made a commendable effort, including several fishermen at Devonshire Dock who assisted Police in their search efforts, under very rough sea conditions.'' Boats at night are required by law to carry running lights. A Police spokeswoman yesterday refused to comment on whether either craft was using lights when the accident happened.

An autopsy was carried out on the dead man yesterday, but the Police spokeswoman said the results would not be released.

The driver of the jetski -- a 34-year-old St. David's man who has not been named -- was later arrested on suspicion of impaired driving.

The boat Mr. Shamsid-Deen was a passenger in had its starboard bow ripped off by the impact. The Tamara Bombardier jetski had its bow damaged in the collision as well.

Jetski-ing in Bermuda is represented by two rival bodies, the Personal Watercraft Association of Bermuda (PWAB) and the Bermuda Jetsport Association (JAB).

PWAB chairman John (Buddy) Ford declined to comment on the accident, but said his group was set up to prevent accidents.

He added: "We want to be seen to be proactive and educating people instead of being seen as a liability. It's very unfortunate what's happened and it's something we did not want ever to see.'' In its blueprint for the sport, JAB recommended that the use of jetskis should be restricted to daylight hours, with the exception of craft used by Police, which would be equipped with marine-standard running lights for night use.
