I wonder if a restraining order would be possible ... not sure how enforceable it would be, but perhaps if it were legally possible to seize any boat that would take him out there it might provide enough incentive to keep him off the ship.mike_s:so what kind of "outcome" do people think should come from this offense for the diver?

Allison Finch:Please, you plunderers, stay away from the wrecks I love to play with. Plunderers are, essentially, selfish. They take for themselves (for their livingroom) what others could enjoy for many years to come.
That's all.......
notabob:An overwhelming majority of artifacts brought back by divers from the wrecks they visit took an awful lot of work to find and recover. A lot of research, training, experience, and downright expense getting to the wrecks. Wrecks that 99% of people will never dive in their life because they lack said training and experience, and will never seek it. And as for those wrecks that are within recreational limits - most of the artifacts recovered from various wrecks you would never even recognize for what they were while on the bottom. Just another piece of endless wreckage that you swim by. The effort that those divers put forth to recover, restore, preserve, and _share_ those artifacts should be commended, instead of being insulted. And yes, I said share. I've seen MANY divers going out of their way to share their finds with others at dive shows, stores, etc. They're letting many more see these pieces of history, where as they would disappear into oblivion never to be seen by ANYONE again. EVER. Instead, these artifacts live on to inspire and fascinate the next generation. Not bad for a plunderer...
