The army corps of engineers designed the drainage canals throughout the state of florida many years ago. this drainage caused utrification (bad runoff) to the delicate eco-system in what we call our reef. basically the canals built with out retension basins (ponds and such) are the culprits. take a ride through the everglades, it has condos in it...no kidding. we drove to the keys (to dive of course) as we do every year over xmas and in just 1 years time condos are springing up EVERYWHERE. My point is that "Sport Diving" (as we all are are apart of) doesn't create the "ADVERSE IMPACTS" to our environment, government does. since we're diving into this DEEPER, i consider it "Tech Diving" and so it must be appropiate here. :) i have a great site to dive all the time and your all invited! its only a pond that is mostly murky from 0-12 ft but i like it. if you'd like to learn more about this great dive spot go to www.senatorbob.com -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
