Ace, it is interesting reading all the various diver opinions bubbling about the Internet, like why doesn't the pier build a new one and leave the old one in place. Oh sure, and I will take 5 Red One cameras, a dozen rebreathers and a Ferarri while I am at it.

That Pier is private owned, the guys are trying to stave off costly repairs later down the road, the fact that they even involve the dive community at all is totally at their discretion, and credit is to be given for their eco-responsibility.
