For it to be a NOAA-sponsored dive, you would need to draft a research plan 
that has to be reviewed for authorization by the NDP Safety Board.  A 
NOAA-authorized technical dive has numerous requirements.  In contrast, this 
was a recreational dive where each and every person payed a charter fee.  
For me, being a NOAA working diver, it was a non-duty dive.  No grey area.

If you are interested in learning more about the NOAA Dive Program, please 
feel free to call the Seattle office.  They can bring you up to speed.

FWIW, the NOAA funded, NURC dives are in March.
