Jim,

that's because you forgot to really open your mind all the way :-)

Who sues the bus that takes you to the ski slope?  No one.  why
not?  No one expects the ski bus to keep you safe.  Stop expecting
the dive boat to.

When you get called to tetify as an expert witness by that
family, you can look 'em straight in the eye and say, no
there was no duty breached by the dive boat... they had no
duty to protect, only to taxi.  No breach of duty.  No case.

So anyway you are right, partially.  You can't do this half-way.
There is no half-pregnant.

either dive boats have responsiblity for us or they don't.
I pity them if they do.  And I pity us as we suffer while
they have to cover their butts.

Mike
