flyingfishr (1/5/2009)Here's a good hyothetical from the other side of the equation.... What if say, you are diving a big structure like the liberty ship, have your divers in the water, have your colors blowing in the breeze and when on the wreck you hear a boat approaching. Lets take it even further and say the viz is so good, that you can actually see this other vessel (I'll just call it a 19 footer, with about a 115 hp whiteJohnson and a sea green bimini top on it) approach your vessel from the end of the ship you are on and motor up to within 5 feet of your boat...WITH DIVERS IN THE WATER! Imagine having to swim up side down with your arms in front of your face and head for fear of a blooming anchor getting dropped down on your head as you are trying to swim out from under this f$@*ng boat! Then have the operator of the other boat tell your crew that he knew there were divers in the water because he could see their bubbles coming up on either side of his boat! There's a real question of what to do!

But if they swear the boat was in neutral it makes everything ok. Or when you pull up to the next spot and you see him :sick over the side of the boat. Don't forget it was a Key West. I actually saw him going out the next day
Just be respectful to each other out there. If you see people fishing anchor on the other side of the wreck and ask. If you see divers down be careful where you drop anchor and use extreme caution approaching the wrecks. Most of us do safety stops and a mere 15 ft and it's not fun when a prop comes buzzing over your head.
