George and Bill:  if you could provide answers to the following scenarios,
maybe that would help get the message across to many of us as to how you
dive wrecks in openwater.

1)  USS Wilkes-Barre:  sand at 250', deck around 200'.  you're just there
to look around the wreck, no penetration.  

2)  also on the Wilkes-Barre, but on this dive you're planning on doing
some serious penetration at around 220'.

these are separate trips, first dives, not sequential.
in both cases, what exposure suit, main cylinder(s) and bottom gas, deco
cylinders and deco gas would you use?  scooters, yes/no?  how long is
planned bottom and deco time?  what other gear would you take (reels, lift
bags, etc.  small stuff)?

what would you change (if anything) to do the same dives on the Andrea
Doria?


i think most people know what you guys use and do in the caves, but
hopefully this'll help clear up the openwater confusion.  thanks much for
your assistance.
