  In scuba diving, who is to do the controlling and authorizing? We don't want
a hard tight control over scuba diving. And all those people in charge will
need paying, at the scuba divers' expense. Scuba diving is a symbol of
freedom, and it should remain so. As I said before. I understand desires for
safety, but it must stop short of hard tight control over it all. Next it will
be rationing of numbers, and having to say what you need to dive for, and
having to tell officials before you go diving, and all sorts of things.
  A big negatory on letting underwater become a police state.
