When can we dive Atlantis?

The tires to reefs program never really even looked good on paper and had a good deal of well reasoned opposition in the various locations where they have been deployed.

Any thing can be made to look good on paper, at least to someone................

hence idiocracy of buraucracy.

It seems I have sparked an interesting debate that raises some sore points depending on your point of view.

Do you guys think the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Gallery I asked about on a previous thread (http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=180986) is also a good or a bad idea?

Here we go, cut down the trees, put up a parking lot. Soon Wal Mart will open a store underwater beside it so you can buy film.

It is a stupid and environmentally dangerous and ultimately selfish idea.

Evidence, Nemrod?

Were the Speigel Grove, Duane, Bibb, Oriskany bad ideas and a problem for the environment? Surely these old ships are more of a concern then a bunch of goofy concrete structures.

If you said the idea is silly and gaudy I would agree.

According to Shadow Divers ship wrecks are good for attracting marine life.

Didn't the Navy go to great lengths to clean the inside of the Oriskany before she was sunk to limit any negative environmental impact?
