Rich, what you said in your original post- and what I disagree with- is 
that divers are always at fault, not the agency, dive shop, instructor, 
etc. Now you are saying what I think you meant to say in your original 
post- divers are always at risk. I like the philosophy of, "I exist, 
therefore, I am at risk" better than, "I exist, therefore, I am at fault".
Wem Remley was at risk by being in the water, but totally without fault 
for being hit in the head by a running propeller. Unless you think taking 
a risk is a fault. That's only in California when you build your dream 
house on the San Andreas. Rod
