Scarborough is claimed by several Countries at this time, and is too
dangerous to travel there. Recently a group flew over the Reef at low
tide with GPS to verify, and they reported that they were now below
water level, even at low tide. I would be surprised if there is ever
another operation from Scarborough Reef, and is just a matter of time
till it is Deleted from the list.
