Well not died but after seeing @Sam Miller III tag line on his posts and knowing he is a primary keeper of knowledge about diving and more specifically things on the West coast I thought it made sense.
So a podcast that I listen to, has over the last three weeks gone over an incident in L.A. county in 1975 where a few of the politicians in the area became very self important and decided to slap a bunch of regulations on the industry. I found the story fascinating and wondered if any of the folks on here who probably lived through it had any specific memories about what went on, the climate of the community at that point, or just overall feeling on the subject?
I did make a cursory look of threads to see if there was one already but didn't see one so those of you who know, tell us whipper snappers a story about standing up to the bureaucracy.
Just realized that this probably should have been in "History of Scuba Diving" in lieu of here so mods please move if needed.
