Mike, What you say it true, but Dan has to take some more responsibility here. The Seeker needs to do more than "ask" divers if they are qualified, they need to have each diver show proof of their experience (or lack of) at diving this type of technical profile. By this I mean deep ocean wreck diving, preferably in conditions similar to those found on the Doria. It does no one good to have this kind of attention drawn to our sport.
