Most of these currents do not extend down very far below the surface. The
Gulf Stream, which is a lot faster than anything found in NE wreck diving,
extends down 150 feet at best before it is still. Sometimes it will sweep
lower. The very top can move nearly 4 knots, by 70 feet it is a lot slower,
and deeper it is barely perceptible.

Do a free ascent until you hit 70'. It's not that tough.
If the boat is tied into the wreck it is a problem, very seldom do we have
current strong enough to keep us from tieing into the wrecks, but some
current is always there, to free ascent means you will drift away during
deco, if the dive boat does not have a chase boat YOU ARE FUCKED, the boat
will not leave other divers in the water that did nothing wrong to go save
one dumb ass. If the liftbag has a problem with depth, get a different lift
bag.

Ok i see why it would be a problem shooting one from depth due to the
air
expanding.In a course i took that was'nt GUE- may have been wreck,we
were
told in an emergency shoot the bag,, tie it off and assend on it.And
yes it
was a Jersey reel too but thats un-important now.What do you do if
your at
depth then???Say between 100' and 200. Im ready :-)
