As a long time reader and diver of 20 years, I found your response to McBad
a little surprising. You have always come across as reasoned in your view
yet I dont see any of the one sidedness you are referring to in what I think
is a logical post on the debate. He disagrees with you, that's all. He's
entitled to do that. He points out, rightly in my view, that saying do not
need a policy is avoiding the issue entirely.
The original post requested views, and that's what's been happening. I
would be saddened if it was a one man campaign. I happen to agree, not
entirely with his where may this take us view, but in the principal that
this is a bad idea and contrary to the principles of environmentally
friendly diving. I love diving and have asked if at all possible that my
ashes are scattered somewhere in the sea. If my wife and friends decided to
stick a plaque at my favourite dive site to remember me, they would in one
action undo all the good I have tried to do for the last 20 years.
I would find it EXTREMELY distrubing to come across such a plaque on a dive.
We are all aware enough of the dangers and do not need such selfishness to
spoil the site for our children.
That's my view anyway.

Absolutely! I found it more innappropriate than surprising but typical
of the Internet where words can often be read one way by one person and
completely the opposite way by another.
