Really what I think it comes down to is that some "techies" are seeing way to many old time "recies" getting hurt and/or killed.

Mostly because of ignorance or being "hard headed" about modern technologies, training and education.

I just don't like seeing people destroy habitat because of poor dive skills. There's things there I would like to see too, but won't get the chance because someone who uses ankle weights and/or no BC etc, and who is diving air and is so narced they don't even know what they destroyed ruins it for me.

Sad, very sad....
