Seeing you brought up the POW thing something that finally died a horrible death over on Ontario Diving. I have talked to lots of people involved and it seems your one of the cancerous old guard that do not want to go forward and seemed to complain with anything and I mean anything that was done.
These people were volunteers and did this freely and look at how you and your friends thanked them. Sure makes me glad that I am not one of them, and with gas prices so high I can only support limited charities and POW is not going to be one of them for certain.
Yes it's sad about POW! My wife & I supported it for 15 years.
When a group of Expert diver wanted to take over we both stepped down but kept memberships.
It was left in complete disarray, almost dead after 4 years of the Experts running it. The experts now whine that it's all Big Jim and the old guards fault. And the "Converted" believe them. In that 4 years I received 2 newsletters and 5 emails from "POW" great job guys! The only thing I did for POW in that 4 years was splice a few lines. But it's now my fault POW fell apart.
If you supported POW you know that. if you didn't then SHUT UP about what you don't know or even bothered to support
I do believe that now POW is starting back on the right road with hard work from divers that are very interested in our shipwrecks.
No I am not part of the new group. I will maintain a membership as I hope we do maintain the wrecks we now try to look after.
I have thanked many of the people over the years for all the help given. These people were volunteers and I salute them. Again if you are part of POW you know who you are.
