TMHeimer is the self acknowledged shell collector of the SCUBA Board.
I suspect there are others who have unconsciously or consciously collected sea shells;
1) By purchased them from local individuals while on a diving vacation trip- the shells were purchased and not harvested by divers therefore by purchasing a sea shell from a native aids the local economy .
2) By walking along the beach and discovered a lovely dead shell wash in the surf line that beckoned to be picked up and transported to some foreign land for others to see.
3) By diving and accidentally discovering a sea shell that jumped inside the exposure suit consequently had to be collected as a souvenir of the trip
4) By visiting the local home town shell shop and purchasing shells
And it is suspected there are other methods of acquiring sea shells too numerous to list
What about other members besides TMHeimer of the SCUBA board have you been a participant in the unconsciously or consciously collection sea shells ?
If so what happens to them after returning to you land locked shown bound home?
Are they displayed for all to see ? How ? Where?
An inquiring mind wants to know
