F.B.I.

This week there was an article in the Richmond Times Dispatch about the FBI making the rounds at local Dive Shops...

Applicants from countries where diving is uncommon;

Requests from religious organizations, cults, associations or charitable agencies not normally associated with diving;

Requests to learn advanced combat swimming skills, such as how to use rebreathers (which reprocess exhaled air) and diver propulsion vehicles;

Customers seeking to pay cash for diving instruction;

Refusal or reluctance to provide personal information.
