I thought that these were supposed to be guided tours. If so, hopefully the guides will keep things reasonable. If not, I guess we should all keep our cameras and jig sticks within easy reach.

I was witness to one of these guided tours recently... they seemed pretty respectful IMO. The group went way outside of the kelp in what had to be 25-30 fathoms. That being said, I still don't think its a good idea. I think it should be against the law for companies to rent jet skis period. It may be easier to try and make renting jet skis illegal all together. Guided tour or not, they should be banned unless proper licensing is required. If you can't drive a car there is no way you should be allowed on a jet ski.

merely a flesh wound

from CNN
The laser, mounted on a Navy warship, was able to destroy an outboard motor on a small boat bobbing "more than a mile away," according to Michael Deitchman, director of air warfare and weapons at the Office of Naval Research.

A .50 cal will do the same for billion dollars less, and can hit a craft at speed not just "bobbing"
watch the video and you will laugh. waste of nice boat.
