Rich, IT'S ALWAYS THE DIVERS FAULT? ARE YOU INSANE? I know a guy who was
accidently shot while diving by another diver with a spear gun. It was his

at fault for getting his head in the way of the propeller while teaching
the dive class?  Surely you are not saying there have been no valid tort 
claims made by divers injured during a dive. Or are you? Rod
