It's an old item, but has some interesting information in it.
I wonder if the proprietor has changed his tune in the years since? Knowing that I may be reported for my purchases doesn't make me happy about patronizing the store. It's also possible that the quotes were taken out of context somehow, I suppose.At scuba-equipment stores, suspicious activity might involve quantity.
Any customer requesting several sets of scuba gear would be suspicious, shop owners said. Most sales are for only one person, or perhaps two for a married couple.
John Burns, owner of Discount Divers Supply on Westlake Avenue in Seattle, said he would suspect anyone wanting to purchase anything to increase diver mobility, such as a propulsion vehicle that uses a battery to fuel a propeller. He said he might call the FBI even if someone requested only one of the devices.
Any instructors here have stories about being contacted by the FBI?
