My 2 cents worth:

I do not object to sealife being taken on a dive providing:

1. It doesn't break local laws / rules (a la St Abbs)
2. It is going to be consumed
3. It is not excessive
4. You do not take juveniles

I eat fish and lobster (occasionally) and see no difference in me catching it compared with it being caught by someone else. Having said that, I also respect the wishes of people I dive with and if it upsets them then I won't do it on that dive. I haven't actually taken anything (yet) mainly because the opportunity hasn't arisen but I wouldn't rule it out.

So hopefully we'll still dive together Steve!
