Sounds Great to me Jim, once you guys have finished removing all the pipes, lead, and other bits of steel then some real wreckers can moove in and you guys will have made it easier for us to find things WORTH taking.BTW the logic of leaving pipes etc behind is that others can enjoy the wreck, most divers -you included by the sounds of things, don't ever notice anything small on a wreck and for them the 'big picture' ie, engine., hull, prop, boiler etc are what they like to see. Most people are usually too narked or blind to ever find anything smaller than a piece of pipe:)) Good Luck with your ratting, Scott At 22:24 29/01/97 -0500, you wrote: >Well, this sure is some swiss-cheese logic.
