Bill;
Agreed enforcement is tough. Seems to me the only real stick is economic via liability. I don't follow the state of liability theory in diving accidents, and don't want to, but intuition suggests the first time plaintiff's attorney wins a judgement for a death on the Yukon because a jury buys the argument that the boat or charter operator failed to adequately supervise the dive and let a novice penetrate a wreck, the focus will change and supervisors will see economic benefit in greater attention to suitability. If they don't, the insurance providers will.
