Yeah, that was my fault. I dug up this thread to link it into the 'words you learned on SB' thread, then accidentally replied to this thread instead of the other one. That was my ‘Oops’ (http://www.scubaboard.com/showpost.php?p=1438314&postcount=38).

As you may know, you can edit a post, but you can't unpost.

It's in Daniel Lenihan's Submerged, Adventures of America's Most Elite Underwater Archeology Team. Not a bad winter read.

The book jacket says that Lenihan was "Founder and Chief of U.S. National Park Service Submerged Cultural Resources Unit (SCRU)"
