Hello all!
I am agreed!
Doesn't matter which sunken ships and submarines, western, eastern, northern or southern, they are all the resting-places of the crews and passengers sank together with the ships.
Exploring and diving around them, it is ok. But, it must be done under supervision of authorized personnel, because of two main reasons. The first reason is safety, because so many divers (most of them aren't professionals, even well trained amateurs) died because of problems with their gear or because of lack of experience, knowledge etc.
The second reason is protection of historical rests, because the supervisors would prevent any kind of destroying of the sunken ships, submarines etc.
There is one big question, morality of those who dive around sunken ships and submarines and take some parts of equipment, crews' and passengers' things, and even skulls etc.
For me, anyone able to take the skull found in sunken ship or submarine and ready to try to sell it on the Internet, is not better than jackals who looked for gold teeth on the battlefield after the battle. Sorry for these direct words, but it is my opinion.
Of course, the buyers aren't much better!
Best regards to all of you!
