When I dive the FL reefs and see a "school" of divers pass with spear guns loaded and cocked I have to smile when I remember that they are probably certified divers. If they weren't they couldn't fill their tanks at a dive shop. Or watch the MANIC licensed drivers on I95 in South Florida. Or the drunk small power-boat drivers out on a Saturday night. It is hard to legislate responsibility and courtesy. By the way the only factor that requires licensed captains at the helm of large yachts are the insurance companies.
