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.

>>Man, I hope your kidding about the U352. How about in a few hundred
dives? Wreck penetration is never "safe", you can however reduce risk
to what you consider acceptable with the PROPER TRAINING and
experience in practicing that training(an often overlooked part).


Dave,

	I totally agree with Chris!!!!  Get some diving under your belt 
first!!!! You mentioned getting more certifications.  I suggest that you 
don't even worry about becoming a certified wreck diver, deep diver, or 
anyother type of diver.  Experience and attitude will led you to the road 
that you want to follow, but until then just get some diving in and have 
some fun doing it.  After all, fun is reason most of us dive in the first 
place.  You may decide that you don't really want to dive wrecks or deep, 
but you don't know that until you get some experience!  Just my opinion!  
Have fun diving!!!!!

Aloha
Tony
