Keys Mooring Balls; What's Going On?

[NaCl H2O]

I just don't get the us/them conflicts.
It's common practice especially in the summer to load both fishing and dive gear on my boat.
Head out early and try to catch something, by 10-11 I'm blowing bubbles in nice cool (warmish) water on the reef. Sometimes I tie up to the same ball I bait fished on ealier. I think they are a great for both sports!
Cutting lines is selfish.

Cutting lines is selfish.

You drive a car............Ever had someone cut infront of you in your lane while you were just minding your own business. Then brake check you when you honked? Same thing happens with all boats on the same 'Spot'
We saw over 200 boats within eye sight yesterday while diving on this holiday weekend. Everyone was yelling on the water & VHF radio.

Unlike divers, the fishermen pay the lion's share for the resource.
