Don Janni:thanks, you made my point.
What's painfully obvious here is that you have no point.

pilot fish:I thought that was the reason for this thread?
Nice pics
NWGratefulDiver:I doubt it ... one of our most interesting local wrecks ... the Diamond Knot ... went down in 1947.

Don Wray:The Captain is doing what all those in a conspiracy do, try to blame the primary person responsible for the act. ***noise deleted*** Stop trying to let him off the hook. He aided and abetted the criminal larceny of items belonging to the state of Florida and now tries to justify his actions. It is obvious that the actor is a repeat customer of the Captain and he has no intention of offending him.
But that is at least some of the point. People keep doing it, at least on charted vessels, because the CAPT who shoulda ripped him a new one, and called it in, lets him get away with it. Now what do the other paying customers get from this behavior? negative reinforcement. I saw this guy do this thing last time and no one said anything, so it must be okay. Pretty soon it is just the way things are...Diver Dennis:It does seem like this story is true but I highly doubt that the Capt. and Mr. Sleppy are the only ones doing it.
notabob:You telling me that that piece of junk that the hapless diver pulled out from so deep inside the wreck that probably only 1/200-300, if that, divers on her would have the skill and experience to get to, much less care about when they did
It doesn't occur to you that the piece of junk they worked very hard for, at great risk to their personal wellbeing, isn't theirs to steal? or that doesnt matter because it is junk, and only one out of every three hundred divers might see it...notabob:So now it's a conspiracy!?! Criminal larceny?!?! :shakehead
You telling me that that piece of junk that the hapless diver pulled out from so deep inside the wreck that probably only 1/200-300, if that, divers on her would have the skill and experience to get to, much less care about when they did, is worth >$5,000? Cause that's the legal definition of criminal larceny, you know... Though you probably don't. It's easier to just keep spouting the same old tired lines that the masses are being spoon-fed by the few with an agenda (even if that agenda is nothing more than getting some attention), than to actually put in the time to do the research and gain full understanding of the subject, not to mention actually making the dives.

someone earlier made a crack about Mt Everest disappearing if one person takes a rock from the summit.
Now multiple that rock by thousands, if not TENS OF THOUSANDS of rocks disappearing. apply to the wrecks we dive, viola.
