This reminds me of the Monty Python routine "I came here for an argument". Clever way to bait everyone in. Happy 4/1 everyone!

Uncertified folks who are that stupid to use the equipment without proper training would probably kill themselves with some other item/tool/equipment anyway. So, by the logic placed forth here, every dangerous purchase item needs certification to be bought, and all internet purchases need to be banned, for everything. Ridiculous! We can't continue protecting stupid people by infringing on the rights of those with a brain.

Heh. It's sad that in this day & age, such a thing is credible enough to be taken for fact at face value.
By the time I got to the date reminder, I was mulling over whether it would be enforceable. After all, the out-of-state vendor is out of Florida's jurisdiction, & quite a few illegal things get sold online.
Unless they can train scuba gear-sniffing dogs to work at the post office.

I suspect that a state law restricting interstate commerce would have quite a battle ahead of it, however, I'll give them "two thumbs up" for their intentions.MBH:
They should, instead, have some sort of enforcement of regulations for the sale of compressed air. Although the folks that live there probbaly have a better handle on it, I go to FL a few times a year to visit relatives, and am absolutely amazed that that dead divers aren't washing up in bunches on the beaches. There are people who dive once a year for lobsters, and once a decade just because "they still have all their gear".
It wouldn't break my heart if they did something like Bonaire where you have to demonstrate that you're not a Darwin candidate before they'll let you in the water.
