Hello Gentlemen: I am new here and relativly new to diving as well. I was certifyed this summer and have been making "dive plans" since. My dive buddy (Open Water I same as me) here in North Carolina wants to dive the U352 right away. I think it's too deep without more certifications and he agrees. Many wrecks off of North Carolina are deep. I've heard you can go inside some, safely, with the proper certifications. I also know that proper equipment is preferred for these types of dives. I have been in the market for dive equipment for a while now. That I get some of my information from "the net" should not surprise you. I gather information from every area I can find it. Information gatherd from salesmen is not held in high regard. Every time I go to a different dive shop I get diferent information, it gets confusing at times. I had made a choice after looking at a lot of BC's that a Ziegel twin ranger would be the best compromise between a recreational BC and one that can be called upon for tech diving. I found a dive shop that offerd a good deal on the Twin Ranger but after going there he told me what I realy needed was a Dive Rite! Every time I go to a different shop I get a differnt story. (tried on a dive rite with twin 80's and boy it felt good) Maybe I need one BC for tech diving wrecks here in North Carolina and another when I go South on vacation. What about regulators........one shop says............another...and if your gonna use nitrox... I have too much information and not enough sense too use it. See ya on the net, Dave
