[DML] Re: Want to dive DeLorean dump site.

I am not a professional diver but I think I know something about 
diving. If the dies are attached to nets I think it might be very 
dangerous to go near them because of the danger of entanglement. It 
would also be difficult to get a remote camera to them, same problem. 
Before even thinking about diving a lot of research needs to be done. 
How many dies, there is a male and female for each set, how big? what 
are the bottom conditions, weather, currents etc. Who placed them and 
where. Are there any markings on them for identifacation? You need 
to know what you are looking for and how it would appear so if you 
find it you know what you have.The list goes on and on. The point is 
you don't go in the water first without a lot of research first to 
minimize the high costs of an expedition and have a high probability 
of success. Ballard spent years doing research on some of the wrecks 
he has found and luck still has a lot to do with it. Don't be naieve, 
this could cost thousands of dollars and include a high level of 
personal risk, this is not a "day at the beach".
