likely ever see these activities directly, DOCARE provided us some warning signs of indicative
behavior once back on shore, e.g. quickly bringing a SCUBA tank or briefcase directly from a
boat to a truck, or immediately leaving the scene in a hurry without cleaning or washing their
gear. If you see these signs it is worthwhile to call DOCARE. These are felonies. |
