Today, I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and frequently take it offroad to a particular pond and beach where I enjoy fishing and walking. It is ironic that my love for the outdoors led me to purchase a vehicle that burns fuel inefficiently. I am also a scuba diver. Divers are typically worried about human wear and tear on the reefs they love. They want to stop the over-fishing of beautiful reef dwellers, eliminate pollutants that kill coral, keep ships well away from coral reefs, etc.
Most divers willfully ignore the fact that even their peaceful uses are destructive.
Enough divers accidentally kicking a coral head will eventually damage it beyond repair, for example. Yet few if any divers would favor a ban on the tools that allow them to go underwater. The general manager of the affiliated company saw a spreadsheet as the solution to every problem. I inevitably think about whether I can drive my jeep to particular destinations. Divers ponder whether a given underwater area is accessible by scuba.
