[edit] Shipwreck law is not the appropriate category

I've changed the category back to shipwrecks. Although wreck diving mentions some of the aspects of law, this is only one part of the connection between wreck diving and shipwrecks. If anything wreck diving would be under uses of shipwrecks (along with salvage/treasure hunting), but it doesn't make sense to have a category for just those two. I think it makes more sense to leave this page under the main shipwreck category. Viv Hamilton 22:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Things to consider

I merged the section 'Things to consider when wreck diving' with Diver training because there was a lot of duplication between them. In doing so, I removed the statement that it is compulsory to take wreck diver training. It certainly isn't in the UK, but I don't know if it is compulsory in some other countries. If so, perhaps this could be added back in with a statement of which countries it applies to. Viv Hamilton 19:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recreational diving

I've reverted the statement that wreck diving is also known as salvage diving because this article only covers recreational/sport diving. Salvage diving is covered under marine salvage or treasure hunting. Possibly this article should be renamed as Wreck diving (recreational), or expanded to address salvage diving.
