    Video of Diving in the Gulf During the Oil Spill

    Here is an interesting video I found of divers who are monitoring in the impact of the oil spill

    Interesting on several counts... although I didn't watch the entire video. I was rather put off when it suggested I friend BP on YouTube. In addition, I think this is the idiot who dived in the oily waters without any significant protection. Certainly not something I'd do (but worth posting here).

    Dr. Bill: Not THAT kind of doctor... but I'll take a look at it anyway!

    These Guy's are "spot on" You need to watch (and listen) to the full video.
    One thing the Al Walker says at the first of the video is this is UN EXPECTABLE.
