Let's not go anywhere near that thread.

I am all for employing Hershel, but I can imagine one of these military sea lions deciding Bonneville has a better Px...

I can just see the sealions cuffing a diver who's been at depth for a long time just to have the Navy boys reel him in - by the time he's on the boat he's paralyzed-bent like a pretzel. Something tells me they're not going to reel the intruder in with deco stops.

I'm also suspecting the dolphins & sealions are trained to do a bit more than attach a strobe or a cuff to a diver and that any intruding diver wouldn't just be dealing with one marine mammal at a time... oh yeah, and THEN come the spec-op combat divers.
