Your right, and I would too if I had a multi-billion dollar tourist industry 
I wanted to protect.  I would think the majority of the divers, this doesn't 
cause a problem.
It could be that I am isolated in this opinion being from an agency where the 
recommended depth is 100 feet versus other agencies that have 130 feet (or 
more) maximum bottom depths.
