Hello,
Thank you for the help with the board.
The AD is more and more rusted and collapsing!
More fishing lines and nets and lots of cables, and stuff all over.
It's still a great dive (for the experienced tek diver) but a bit expensive, mainly because of the distance. I have been on the AD 4 times, and said goodbye to it (for now) last summer! It's time for something else. It gets old. Some people go back every year, but to me it just gets to be boring after the last 4 times there. I have retrieved some plates and nic-nacs, spoons and that's about it.
I'm going to be diving an old wreck in Portugal and the U853 (uboat) off the RI coast this summer. The wreck in Portugal is at about 200 feet, and the uboat is only at 120 feet, but still makes for a great dive, lots of artifacts and bones, etc. A good wreck dive doesn't have to be a very deep one. My max depth is 305 feet on trimix, but lately I have been having lots of fun on shallower dives like 120 ft, 100ft, 160ft and so.
