Dear Lee!
Of course you�re right. Divers spoil or at least disturb the underwater 
nature only by being there, where no human being normally could survive. 
You may call this a question of moral integrity, to my opinion that word 
is a bit to big, as it should be just a question of good manners, that 
you don�t walk on the reef or treat fish like dolls. As far as I 
experienced PADI-instructors are very aware of that and when I was on 
the Maledives I heard them often scream at divers who didn�t take care 
of the reef.
Anyway, I�m sitting in cold Germany and am dreaming away to the 
Caribbean. I�d give an arm for being in the sunshine right now!
(Please excuse my maybe funny English, I�m German)

Bye, Susanne
