The Rhein Hamburg was sunk over 60 years ago. Since then only two groups, our group (AUE) and one lead by Billy Deans, has ever put up the time, money, effort, and skills needed to get there. Judging by the overwhelming number of cyberdivers here, I sincerely doubt any other group will *ever* see the Rhein. Recovering parts of the ship before it completely corrodes away helps everyone by preserving and documenting parts of the ship; it denies no one access to something they'll never put up the effort to see in the first place. It's very frustrating to be chastised by internet cyberdivers who sit at a keyboard never putting any effort into discovering and diving these difficult sites, yet complaining that we are denying them the chance to see the artifacts in question. -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@mi*.ne*> http://www.mikey.net/scuba Pn(x) = (1/(2^n)n!)[d/dx]^n(x^2 - 1)^n -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
