When Whopperhead and I dove in Ft Lauderdale we had Wave runners going around just south of us, but the kid that rented them out must have told them to stay away from us, they never got close. He wigged out when I lost my float and flaggd one of them down to have them retrieve it for me. So at least some of the operators in that area are aware and taking precautions.
The next day we went up to West Palm and dove with a Tony Babowicz (from on DB here). He was in his boat and Whopperhead and I were in the water. A big charter off shore fishing boat came up next to us and started trolling. We just looked at him. The guests were looking at us, but the crew and captain avoided eye contact. Unbelievable that they are allowed to run a buisness.
