EDITOR, The Tribune.
I want to compliment The Tribune and Denise Maycock for the article on the controversy raised by the recent death of diver John Petty during a shark dive off Grand Bahama.
I am a member of the same underwater photographic club to which John belonged, and I and other members have followed this story closely. The article by Denise is by far the most informative on the issues raised on each side of this issue, and we look forward to follow-up articles on this topic. As you can imagine, this is a topic of great interest to us, and several of our members have been on this dive in the past and at least one has a booking on a future trip, should it occur. Thanks again.
