Case,
It is "terribly dangerous" and I would have thought you would have known
that from working with Billy for all those years. Anyone who thinks the
Andrea Doria is not a dangerous dive should not be doing it. There are
those of us who dive it each year who have learned about the wreck, its
hazards and opportunities, but it is by no means a walk in the park. Come
up sometime, and dive it, you will find it to be 10x more difficult than
the Wilkes Barre and the Monitor.
regards
