    Looking for a new way to apply your scuba skills for fun and profit?  Drug smugglers have the job for you!  More than 500 kilos of cocaine have been found hidden near the engine room of an oil tanker in the Spanish port of Tarragona, stashed in a place so small and inaccessible that only a scuba diver entering from outside the tanker could reach it.  Authorities said that the external boat room of the ship contained 14 packages of cocaine waiting for an enterprising Egyptian scuba diver to obtain it once it reached its final destination in Egypt.  What I want to know is how would that scuba diver move 500 kilos of anything unaided, and how does the diver keep all of that powder dry when leaving the hiding place?  I can’t even keep my t-shirt dry on a dive boat, and it stays above water.
