Kevin, I am a "artifact hound" and agree. I do most of my "open water" dives in the chesapeake bay. (I do more caving than ow)It's dirty, nasty low viz in 8 + years I've talked a few into a dive only for them to come up and say "if that's bay diving, you can have it" I know there is a balance, the next diver wants to see something. I still remember a clammer that was frequented by our local divers in the atlantic. One storm and alll that was left was the engine and a couple of clam baskets.
