SCUBA/Rebreather stamp for all divers? Or just those who spearfish? If the latter, why should they pay double? Plus, spearfishing on rebreathers is illegal in FL waters.
I’m not a fan of a Scuba tax, and I feel it would be a tough one to collect. Though, on one hand, I do understand the desire for those who use the resource to share in its cost. A renewable license to dive is not going to go over very well. Overall, the Scuba Industry in the US has resisted government regulation in favor of self-regulation. Further, additional usage taxes won’t be very popular as well. Especially among those divers that also harvest. They already pay for a fishing license, plus appropriate stamps. Diving is not a cheap sport to begin with. I certainly don’t want to pay more, but I already support the resource through fishing licenses and boat registration.
