Yes, I believe that this is a very suitable forum for this kind of discussion.
BTW, I believe that U.K. wreck divers have a lot in common with U.S. New York/
New Jersey wreck divers - conditions are similar, and the difficulties posed
by the simple fact that the depths tend to make decompression diving a
requirement.

My impression of BSAC, mainly from the manuals, was that wreck diving, and
light deco diving, are pretty much understood as part of diving (though the
BSAC tables  direly punish repetitive, deep, deco dives - they are largely
prohibited.)  What sorts of practices would your local diving officer
disapprove of - is it going deeper than 50m, or using non BSAC tables,
or just the private aspect of the diving?
