When a vessel goes down without casualties then it is open to maritime salvage just like any other and God knows I have spidged more than my share over the years.....

Deco,
the Greek marine police have announced that no diving is allowed on the wreck. so no worries about that one. off course there have to be lots and lots of dives to retrieve the bodies, if they are there and they are dead....this has become an international issue now with Greek authorities being humiliated in front of the whole world as to their methods. Can you imagine what would happen if they don't manage to retrieve the bodies....?
As for me, i knew that these procedures had to be taken. i was talking about (if they decide to leave the wreck there as it is, and if it stops sliding deeper) in time, it would be a great wreck.
That's all.
Cheers
