You guys are so one dimensional. What happens when somebody breaks away their jersey stroke reel for whatever reason? You guys have nothing but personal prefrerence free for alls going on up there, and that is why it is so dangerous. The boat needs to be free - PERIOD. You need to have PLANS. There needs to be SHCEDULING of the dives. This is why I avoid the crap up there. The only way I would do it would be with a group who could charter the whole boat and do it right. The worst bull, like ponies and upreel, come from NE wreckdiving.
