Why was the Divers Association formed?

We all have our own personal motivation for organizing and joining this Divers Association. For some of us it is because it is the morally correct thing to do. For some of us it is to share our concerns for the transgressions of the past and the wisdom we have gained. For some it was the loss of a friend, a colleague, a family member.

Many of us have struggled alone attempting to cast a light on an industry so long controlled by corporate interest, ineffective regulations and inept government regulators. The water and the effects on the people that labor beneath the surface is the same the world over. So why then is it so difficult to create meaningful, enforceable regulations? Perhaps by creating this group of concerned citizens of the world the safer underwater work place that so many of us have searched can now become closer to a reality.
