Makes you wonder about the Nor'east wreckers who claim to launch a 100# lift
bag on 5/16 sisal from 200 feet and then deco on it in a 2.5 kt current! One
of the local wrecks that has been bouyed,  has a 55 gallon drum up from the
mast (170') to 30 feet. In the middle of a dive one day the Stream moved in
and pulled the drum down to where it was crushed and had to be replaced. 

When we hook into a wreck and the boat feels like it just came up on plane,
we call the dive. Then of course, when the current is ripping you usually
have warm, clear water, a luxury the Union boys don't get! - Tony
