just my .02
To be very clear regarding the entry fee as we have really struggled with the $$ amount. Almost every dime is going to pay for insurance and dive rescue teams in helicopters and on boats.

If this were an event right on the beach our flight hours would drop dramatically and the cost would drop relative to the cost of the minimum acceptable level of safety for the participants.

If any nickel’s left over evertyhing goes to charity. All of the time effort and hard costs to date have been volunteered.
