It doesn't really "beg the question", it may however "raise the question" in your mind, but I knew what you meant. Begging the question is a logical term used for describing a type of fallacy occurring in deductive reasoning in which the truth of the conclusion is assumed by the premises. For more information consult the definition provided by the . You might even like the example they provide.

Now back to our regularly scheduled response....

While I'm not certain of the exact number there are somewhere between 7 and 10 people with wreck diving specialties currently in the club, with some others interested in getting wreck certified possibly next year. That's the cool thing about Hoofer SCUBA.  If there are enough people interested in a particular specialty, chances are there is a class that the club can form to get those people certified. Granted some of us are STILL trying to get the muck-diver specialty happening.

On this particular trip there were three divers that had wreck certifications. If you're interested in finding specifically who currently holds a wreck specialty, you can always show up to one of the socials and ask around. Socials are Thursday nights starting at about 8:00 on the Memorial Union Terrace in Madison. Look for the dive flag and pull up a chair.
