How does it work elsewhere when dive boats happen to be on the same site do they share ???

In Kingston or the St. Lawrence charters I frequent, the operator contacts the moored boat on channel 16, switches to another channel then they disccuss if there are divers in water, how long they will be, who can tag off whom, etc. then the unmoored boat stands off until the other boat is finished, or they work together and raft or tag up.

I am really annoyed at all the "experts" quoting regulations and condemning what happened when they were not there. I was on board when the "incident" occurred. I was actually there. I didn't hear about it from a friend, or read about it on line.

As for ownership of a mooring.....check with a lawyer. Who cares what all the self proclaimed experts say on SubaBoard or OntarioDiving.....check with a lawyer.
