I am planning on doing the ebber ward which I have been on 3 times. The =
max depth I reached on the ward was 128'. I have been over 100' probably =
8 times wothout getting out my log. I have dove several wrecks in the 40 =
to 100' foot range. I dive a lot in the st. Clair river which has low =
vis and current. I do most of my practice dives there. I am currently =
signed up for Nitrox. I also do not have 100 dives in yet which seems to =
be the basic first step for Trimix. I will have those in by the end of =
this year. All of my expierence is in cold greatlakes water. I do not =
plan any wreck penetration for this dive except for a verticle decent =
and ascent into the wide open cargo hole which I have done on a previous =
dive. The max depth for the ward unless you start to dig a hole =
underneath the wreck is just dhy of 140' so I am planning my dive for =
140 but I donot plan on spending much time at that depth.=20
I am interested in trimix and I do believe it to be safer than air or =
nitrox at this depth but I have not found a store in my area who teaches =
it. Also it appears online that the training runs about $800 which to me =
as a college student is a bit high. However I know the response of what =
price can you put on a life will come up. I guess the risks of narcosis =
which at the depths and times I have done I didn't expierence any is not =
that great at the dive I am planning. I have heard it is a fairly safe =
plan to that it is not a safe plan. Well thats a little of my background =
and thankyou for your reply's
