Subject: Wreck Diver Training vs. Cave Diving
To: <ken@co*.ci*.uf*.ed*>

I have recently been considering doing some wreck diving and have little 
experience in this field, my experience is in the area of cave diving.  
It has been suggested to me by some wreck divers that I pursue some 
specialized training in this field.  I hesitate to do so since my 
experience has been that wreck divers simply do not poses nor do they need
the same level of skill as the group of cave divers I am associated 
with.  It also seems that wreck diving is allot like underwater Sanford & 
Son and my current cave diving skills should be more than adequate for 
wreck penetrations.  I also have to question the training since 
PADI offers a wreck certification and another wreck certifying agency seems 
to be concentrating on a new specialty - Transformer Training.  I am 
interested 
to know if others are as skeptical of wreck training and skill.

Rick
