| Said it before and ill say it again,
What makes these dead any more special than any other dead? The Thistlegorm is a war grave and most recreational divers who have visited that site have penetrated the so called grave. Or how bout the Dunraven EVERYONE penitrates that ship wreck. If you want some serious invasion what about the Salem Express. Hundreds of children died on that, (dived by 10,000s each year) tourist wreck.
The whole war grave thing is ridiculous. If I had to avoid diving / penetrating every ship where death had occurred it would wipe out 95% of my diving.
I see the POW as no more or less due respect than the Thistlegorm. Why it deserves special treatment i have no idea. Are the people who died on the Thistlegorm less important? Have their relatives said its OK?
Divers had better extract their heads from their backsides on this and form a united front or we will end up only being able to dive the Scylla and the Stangarth.
