For many years the rules didn't permit it, but that was changed when the comprehensive rule book came out last year.<br /><br />As an aside to Shane, using strobes is actually not legal, one of those rules that don't seem to make sense, but exist. <br /><br />The problem Shark Diverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400059793725687456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36324352.post-30524454116000733982016-10-22T17:16:33.209+12:002016-10-22T17:16:33.209+12:00I totally get your point!

As for the rules, they were adamant that baiting on the surface was against them and other boats like the solmar had special permission. There was much confusion about the rules on board as they seem to come from many sources which often conflict with each other.<br /> <br />Nautilus had 3 submersible Shane Grosshttp://shanegross.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36324352.post-33704035218043545722016-10-21T15:33:14.684+12:002016-10-21T15:33:14.684+12:00Thanks Shane - yes that's exactly the conundru...Thanks Shane - yes that's exactly the conundrum operators face.<br />And I trust you know <a href="http://fijisharkdiving.blogspot.com/2008/12/quo-vadis-shark-diving.html" rel="nofollow">where</a> we've chosen to stand on it.<br /><br />BTW as far as I can discern surface baiting is legal - but I guess, and here I'm speculating, it benefits principally those in the surface cages = DaSharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787762757245289307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36324352.post-15443996876795119092016-10-21T14:07:43.858+12:002016-10-21T14:07:43.858+12:00Hello,
