I find it amazing and alarming that so many divers post pictures with gages and consoles dangling and dragging the coral. Some are even standing on the coral or have their hands all over it. So even post pictures hanging onto it or their faces poking through it. As divers I was under the impression that we were ambassadors to the aquatic world and would protect it as all cost. Instead we post pictures of how we are destroying the underwater environment. I am ashamed at these divers that show disrespect for the environment that provides most of our needed resources to survive on this planet. Shame on us!!!!

I agree. We should be more careful. Remember, good character is doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
