Solitude,
I understand what you're saying, and in most instances I would agree with you, but in this particular case, I was very afraid that if I attached a marker buoy to it, both the buoy AND the net would drift off into points unknown, prolonging the killing that this destructive net would continue to do....
I had to consider my options before undertaking the task...

VERY disappointed that you would
advertise this kind of reckless behavior here on a public forum. Did you have a gas plan for this dive? Surface support? Helicopters? You really shouldn't do this kind of salvage work without helicopters. Did you have the chamber on standby? What about the Navy and Coast Guard? VTS? Did you file the appropriate paperwork with them?
I didn't think so.
Awwww man!
I knew I forgot something! The helicopters!!!

You should be ashamed of yourself. :rr:
<gulp> You're onto me!! I wondered how long it would be before the fish was outta the net...
