bigbluedodge:so you would not even be allowed to recover your own sled if it went through even if your a cert diver????????
See what happens if you attempt to extract your own vehicle from a ditch on a Provincial roadway. You may be licensed to drive but not legally permitted perform this action for likely several reasons.
Firstly you're not trained and the potentail for injury to yourself and/or others is large. Not being trained you may not have the correct equipment to complete the task.
DOT will have no problem giving you a nice big fat fine. So... can you see some of the parallels in scuba? Training, equipment, and a commercial certification are required for any such undertaking.
Common sense is a total oxymoron.
