In other words, you haven't even bothered to ask.

Considering that the #1 cause of death while cave diving is untrained
divers, the intent can't really be considered all that misguided...

Agreed, as written, its ungainly, inconvenient and dumb, but that's the
implimentation of their concerns and can be changed several different
ways.  This assumes that one DOESN'T act like some anti-establishment
weenie who will be perceived as in dire need of regulatory oversight but
rather as someone who offers advice and solutions...HINT.

...it all could be that the county is fearful of liability...

Of course the cops have stuff better to do...that's the POINT.  The shop
will be more flexible too, but you missed that point too.  You've shouted
me down; I'll offer no more suggestions.  Good luck - you'll NEED it.  AMF.

Oops.  Either you can tell that my job is to design stuff that blows up
or it was a Freudian slip for the fireworks which may occur...or both.
