That kind of tracks with my theory - I never get narced in cold or
 murky water.  Too much going on - don't dare lose concentration. I
 base this on my highly scientific (???) study of being narced only once,
 but in warm clear water, where it seems easier to zone out.

I was going to say that I dove the 352 early in my diving career -
 until I looked it up in my log.  It was about my 65th dive, (40 of
 which were NJ/Del wrecks) and about the 9 or 10th over 100'.
 (Funny how you forget these things 15 years later...)  I'm not sure
 so many special skills are necessary, but then I forget that brand
 new divers don't know anything about pony bottles, uplines, or
 monitoring air supply.  Then there's that pesky current problem
 that would take you to Bermuda if you miss the anchor coming up.

OK, new divers don't get that right away - nobody does.  BUT, if
 you've got half a brain and get out there and dive wrecks regularly
 (not those 10 weenie dives a year in Cayman) and learn a couple
 tricks from your fellow divers, there's no reason not to do the 352
 after 20 dives or so.  Even North Carolina (or New Jersey) divers
 had to start somewhere.

Going back to lurk mode.
