". . . if we continue to get people killed on the Yukon."
Have I missed something, or am I just getting prematurely senile? Has there been more than one death associated with the YUKON? The only one I remember is Mia Tegner, the marine biologist conducting studies on the marine environment surrounding the wreck, not even in the wreck itself. Tragic, but not germane to this discussion.
Secondly, unless things have dramatically changed since I last dove the YUKON last September, it offers plenty of diving that doesn't require OE training. There are numerous starboard openings and compartments where a light is of no benefit; these parts of the ship are just as accessible as any "cavern" (not "cave") dive.
