Good of you to post PhilLJCA, hope you get this asshole to court and make him pay. I recognise all of the trouble described in this thread and haven't I don't even do bluewater. I mean one takes a float to be visible and more safe only to realise that most boaters dont give a shit about your float, head right over it or cruise 5-10 m from it at high speed and think they showed plenty consideration. this summer I was spearing in Corsica right at shore, I mean like 10 meters from the rocks. I mean that is so close to shore that there could as well be bathing kids there right?. This german tourist in a zodiak passes right over my float. I asked him what the was doing and he didn't even undertand what I meant. He said "but I saw you" in an arnold-like accent (no offence meant to our german members). w t f. What does one say to that? I mean people like that have such a nil understanding of everything involved that you can't even explain to them why it is a dangerous situation. Diving in an area with boat traffic just isn't a nice experience. It isn't possible to relax when you constantly hear speedboats.
PhilLJCA please post when this guy gets it in court, I am really looking forward to it.
