Come on, they need to apply the same rules across the board. Passenger ferries to Avalon or fishing boats, there is a need to do some more work. I have no problem granting access to my dive bag and I am willing to show picture ID (Usually my Disney Land Annual Pass works) and even a C-Card. It is a cost of doing business in a wild world.
I am going diving tomorrow somewhere around Palos Verdes. I will keep my boat well clear of any commercial ships or administrative facilities. I think this is too bad, as we have always enjoyed a good evening harbor cruise. I worry that, at least for now, we will reduce this practise to prevent ourselves from adding to the stress of those who protect our port.
