Subject: Re: Now we're gonna have some fun.
Roger,

Thanks for the info. I had not realized that Win Remly was the organizer 
of DeepTech. The accident he suffered - struck in the head by a boat 
propeller - sound preventable and so, very sad. It really heightens a 
rarely "surfaced" issue for divers - you are MUCH more likely to be 
injured by a boat who ignores dive flags etc. than by getting bent. Is 
there something that the diving community can do to draw attention to the 
fact that - just as with many other issues in pleasure boat safety - many 
boat operators do not pay attention to the law/reasonable rules? All of 
us have seen near mishaps, why can't we report violators and get them 
prosecuted?

Regards,

Peter Heseltine
