question about touching nudis?

[Spoon]

Hey Clive, lighten up mate! The world won't stop spinning if somebody touches a fish or moves a rock every now and then.


As for the respect thing, I am perfectly comfortable about my underwater behaviour. Your respect is irrelevant.

i too am comfortable with my underwater behavior and have learned from my past. does that mean i aint eligible for clive's most respectable list? j/k

yes i eat shrimp, and fish, but i dont go out catching them, killing or spearing them, but that is not what the thread is about, it is about touching and moving.

if you are happy to touch and move, then that is down to you but don't expect any respect from me

If your stance is so strong, you might want to reconsider some of the images posted on your website. I've found several pics posted of divers touching sea life, kneeling on sand/rubble, and a funny but ultimately contradictory photo of a diver sitting on a sunken toilet. Sand, rubble and even sunken toilets may seem devoid of life, but by resting on them a diver can possible destroy an organism or its habitat something you seem very strongly against. Or am I wrong?

Mike makes a strong point which has thus far gone ignored. How can any diver be so strongly against touching of anything while diving, eat prawns in good conscience? Seems a little inconsistent to me....

good points bella never really occured to me. never realized that a sunken toilet is no longer a toilet but an artificial makeshift reef home to numerous organisms.

Shhh, zealots aren't fond of having their inconsistency pointed out. They get irritable

someone tell the triggerfish that was ramming into my tanks this weekend in Puerto Galera to lay off... couldn't resist, but got a good kick in with my fin... does that count as touching the wildlife?... If not, I'm sure someone will tell me I was trespassing and shouldn't have been in the water in the first place...
