I personally don't live anywhere near Woodland Hills so the chances of my stopping in are slim to none. I would feel a lot better if SSA Woodland Hills made a public post to let me know that all SSA boat trips aren't about marine life harassment and that they do incorporate some things that do promote respect for the marine environment into their training programs/diving activities. The marine environment is what personally keeps me involved in diving. I would also like to know that those buying rebreathers are being taught some responsible respect for the marine environment instead of a "spend a lot of money on scuba gear and be entitled to pillage the ocean attitude".
