There are some good wrecks around Puerto Rico, but the laws there not in favor of our side. They have even placed some kind of Park Rangers on Mona Island just to keep people off the wrecks there. My advice is to find out what countries, or Islands, are friendly toward us, and which are not. That does not mean you can pillage. It means the friendly places would allow permitted searching, and chances are there will be someone like myself around that you could either dive with, or get advise from. When I am giving a seminar I usually say. Don't go where metal detectors are not allowed. Spend your money in a friendly place. If enough of us did that chances are things would change. On the good news front. There is a State Congressman in Florida from Miami named Zapata. He is proposing a bill to have the State auction off some of the treasure they have taken from the Salvors. Please support this as it will help the Salvors, and wreck diving in general plus it will get the State money that they might not take from us. Don't fall for the Florida Hetitage B.S. The truth is the Spanish Galleons were Ships leaving a port in another country. Their destination was a different port in a different country, and by an act of God (hurricane) sank off a shoreline that would hundreds of years later be called the State of Florida. This has nothing to do with us other than the fact that they had money. There is much more to say, but please contact Tallahassee, and say you are in favor of auctioning some of the treasure. If the State wants to keep a cross section for whatever reason thats OK, but what do they need with 22000 silver coins that are clones of each other. Same rule for the gold coins. I don't have the count on them, but its far too many. Thank you, Capt. Carl Fismerwhat good places are there in Puerto Rico to find a good treasure
