Hello,

I completed my Nitrox course in October 95 and I am now ready to try
some other technical diving experiences. I expect to be diving to 160-180 fsw
to see some wrecks. So I need to push my diving beyond the 130 fsw mark, but
don't know the best way to go about doing this. I am not looking for
*certification*, but I am looking for *experience*. If the certification comes
with that, then fine.

I don't like the idea of Nitrogen Narcosis...anything that impairs my ability
to think clearly scares the hell out of me. So I am not too sure about deep
air. Does that mean I should take a trimix course or advanced/technical nitrox
class?

I am not ready for cave or wreck classes, but will be someday. Should I take a
cavern course to whet my appetite?

I guess I just don't want to go off and dive beyond my abilities. Any opinion
on what is the best route to take from here would be great.
