Michael, personally, I do not have a problem with serious people who get organized, consult with experts, get funding, contribute to research, carry out serious projects, etc. There is much need for doing so and I would like to see more "tech divers" to do serious work (such as the WKPP does but in other fields). What I *certainly* find deplorable is the Joe-6-Pack who get together and go to gutt everything they find. The diving community should take the stand for what is acceptable praxis both from the moral, technical and philosphical viewpoints. Your country, AU, regulates all of these activities very well and, IMO, it is an example to follow on the institutional level. ---- aldo.solari@ho*.se* (fisheries biologist) Home page, www.ccbb.ulpgc.es/fish-ecology/solaris ---- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
