That's pretty much it.

I don't know who was right or wrong, but the salvage company thought they could take artifacts out of the DR to sell, but the DR gubmint said "no way."

So without a means to pay for salvage, they left.

There is a salvage operation off Montecristi led by Brit academics, with no thought of removing artifacts out of country. In fact, one can sign up for a university course, pay living fees, and help with the underwater salvage. Interesting stuff.

One day I plan a visit to the office of ADMAT. I believe that is on the south shore. Please correct me if I am wrong. I hear the director of the volunteer program can be a difficult fellow to work for. Correct me if I am wrong on that also.
