Trimix depth wrecks (or other unique locations)

I definitely DO NOT want to go into politics here (or anywhere for that matter) but I have to be realistic. If the T word gets into office there may be a lot of parts of the world that are not as friendly toward the U.S. If Muslims are told they are not welcome in the U.S. I doubt they're going to be thrilled to see us visit their various countries. (Mind you - when I say "they" I DO NOT mean "All", I am one of those "live and let live" people who don't hate or disrespect any group) I just want to feel safe and enjoy myself without worrying about becoming a target.

I flew TWA 847 a year before it was hijacked. I didn't have US citizenship back then, but now that I have dual citizenship, I always use my Dutch passport. Dual citizenship has extra privileges beyond ease of entry.

Ireland and Iceland are definitely on the life docket. Know any Charter Boats out there?

Absolutely, both of these local operators know the wrecks well and I'd recommend them both as I use them both regularly:
Rosguill.com - Charter Boat Hire for Fishing, Angling and Diving - B&B Bed and Breakfast Accommodation - Downings, Co Donegal, Ireland
and
Mevagh Dive Centre - Recreational and Technical Scuba Diving Ireland

The Rosguill is a mono hull hard deck boat. Mevagh diving have a Catamaran called the Laura Dean. I think both are licenced for up to and possibly beyond 60 miles ofshore.

Not sure how that fits in to this conversation, but for what it's worth you are correct. <p.s. it's Chatterton>

I am looking for an amazing unique location to do our Advanced Trimix class. We have our instructor (John Chatterton) and will require access to mix, tanks, and a charter boat with a great guide who knows where the good stuff lies. There are a ton of beautiful worldwide locations to dive but I'm not finding much for the kind of wrecks and/or depths we're looking for. We're adventurers and professional divers- recreational scuttled boats and reefs are just not cutting it for this one! If you're a more expedition minded charter operation, have a unique experience to be had or just have some awesome mystery wreck to explore, please let me know!

Truk lagoon. Nice, warm, crystal clear and deep
