Legal & other issues from SG Mishap

[H2Andy]

Seems to me that unless somebody can prove that an intentionally submerged structure represents a grossly more hazardous environment than a submerged structure that occured through collison or any other 'natural' method of finding the bottom of the ocean there is no way to hold them accountable for any accident that occurs on the structure...

all that proves is that wreck A is more dangerous than wreck B

it still does not mean that the sinking authority has any duty to make a wreck it sinks safe for penetration divers who do not follow proper procedure.

remember my mantra, no duty = no liability

Yet another argument in favor of independent doubles ... they're easily available.

"I," on the other hand, need more champagne and strawberries! If this week gets any better I won't be able to stand it!resent2: :1balloon:

Remember, A, sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes, the bug.

Thank you to all the lawyer types who weighed in on this. This has been a very interesting and thought provoking discussion. I am looking forward to your future comments as this unfolds; but wouldn't be great if no legal action were taken?

Great for the diving community anyway.

Beer/champagne to all!

Dave C,

There's a simple alternative: expect individuals to be responsible for themselves, rather than entitled to protection from themselves

I like this quote. To bad people today don't understand this.


ScubaPhotoBabe,

Thanks for the input.
