George, please drop the HTML from your posts.

As someone from UMD, you really should know better than to post HTML to
a Usenet newsgroup. We expect this from Outlook addicted middle
managers, but not people from academia.

Thanks,

No. Who's CW? By the way excuse the grammar; it should read "When a ship is sunk..."

CW is our most prolific village idiot, Chris Wolf. I should point out
that it was in humour, you ain't _that_ bad. ;-)

Grammar / spelling not that big a deal, but as CW has proven "oh so
well", reading an article or two does not an expert make.

Both divers were very aware of Eagle's Nest. They had dove there in
the past quite a few times.

Here's a link to a very good description and maps of Eagle's Nest:

Suggest that you go take a look at it before pronouncing a ruling such
as the above one...
