Cortez marine, after the 45 collectors in the Phillipines died, did the diving continue there? I'd imagine that after 45 people die in a single region, the locals would be well aware of the risk, no? Are they in such abject poverty that a man's only choices are to let his family starve or risk diving? Or is the average diver just unaware of the risks, and if educated would simply choose another living?
