My exact words to a dive op are "Is it OK to collect shells for my somewhat scientific collection?"
Could that be called a lie? I suppose so, unless you figure it's scientific because they are labelled by location with books available by the collection to look them up. It's a stretch for sure. I doubt that approach works very well anyway, as I can probably count on one hand the dive ops that agreed to it. Saying it's somewhat scientific probably makes little or more likely no difference in how they respond.
