Uh-Huh. Of course they would while loading the conchs into their Contender. Just like I have the right to catch and keep 6 inch hogfish and undersize lobster. :76feet:

No surprise here.

Stay on shore, save your money.

$4.4 billion for harnesses? :rant:

A search on USA Spending dot gov shows a diving supply company in Virginia Beach, VA that receives $4.4 Billion annually. At This Link you can see their website. Does anyone know about this "Diving Supply" company?

McCabe deserves a lot of jail time. He SHOULD have foreseen the potential for the accident and resulting death of his passenger based on what happened the day prior to the fatality.

Instructors that follow standards and REQUIRE MASTERY LEARNING.

Not all tec dives are made in cool/cold water. As I stated above. It's not unusual for the water temps to be in the 80s (F) at 270 feet in the Gulfstream. I have done "Tec" dives in a bathing suit and a rash guard. @Doc Harry c'mon don't be so geo centric. :poke:

How many times have you had the cattle boat/inexperienced guide experience at RR?

No. I used to dive the ex-USS Wilkes-Barre that rests in 270 fsw with a 3-mil shorty.
