Rob Murphy's Day in Court

It would teach some of these guys a lesson if their boats became diveable wrecks. I've heard of it happening.

Yep, we call it South Florida Hurricane Season

Pete clearly hacked her account. :scorned:

Kinda takes the wind out of the sails that would have/could have been... :shocked2:

In the Dallas area a dive flag/float attracts boaters when they don't know what it's for. Boaters will even pick it up out of the water and try to leave with it before they realize there's a string attached, pulling the diver to the surface rapidly. That's why I don't attach the reel to me, so I can let go quickly if I need to.

Perhaps we need to take a lesson from the caving community and put up signs on as many docks and at as many fueling stations as we can... something along these lines:

Don't recall if it's been mentioned in this thread, but I think I heard that the Ontario Underwater Council has managed to put up (with welcome co-operation from a few marinas and/or pier owners) a few somewhat similar signs after a diver was killed by a boat a few years back.

That sounds like a VERY good idea to me.

If you want to see some real idiots in boats, go sailing someday and watch the powerboaters. While there are a lot of good powerboaters, there area also some real idiots out there. There are even more idiots on PWCs. Or maybe they're just more idiotic. At any rate, the leisurely pace of a sailboat allows the sailor to see his less-talented (or maybe boneheaded is a better word...) brethren do stupid stuff out of ignorance, or stupidity, or both.

I don't mean to offend anyone, and I won't offend the good, conscientious powerboater. If I've offended you and your'e a boater, maybe you need to look in a mirror and ask yourself if you're the best boater you can be.

The biggest idiot I've ever seen was a sailboater who cut across the path of the USS Ranger (81,000 tons)!
