In Michigan (where I live), some divers were caught by the authorities while taking an artifact off of a wreck. Not only were they arrested, but their boat and dive gear was confiscated and forfeited. On top of that, many divers sent emails and faxes to the local prosecutors office demanding that the violators be punished to the fullest extent of the law. This occured in either '99 or 2000. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
