Yes it can,as it was said that the wreck was just protected a short time ago most trips were planned before that happen,so my point is those people may not make a return trip to the site,seen it ,done it.Nothing to bring them back. I would not waste my time with it. > >As a side note, how much business the local charters and shops would >be making now if the plans made by a group of divers to blow up the >wreck (last spring) had been allowed? This is a good point,the MORONS who were going to do that should be band from all wrecks,the wreck will on its own due to mother nature open up giving access to her hidden treasure.Most true wreck divers repeatedly return to a wreck to see what will be offered to them naturally,this is good for business.I'm not saying that it was not a good idea to protect this from something like this,but to punish all for what they were planning to do is wrong.
