Barbara and I are notorious Candy A_s Divers, but I think we might be able to handle this with 5mm suits and 3mm vests--really! There is nothing like an historic wreck dive or the chance to see sharks to get us ready to go!
CGoheen, could you tell us a little more about the condition of the U-Boat and a little more about what you saw?
Thanks again!

but #1 Candy**s Joewr going in water 20 degrees colder than norm? You OK pal? What have you been drinking, surely not your hot tea?
I would also like more info on this dive. It sounds like a must do. Maybe we can arrange a group dive there JOewr.

Try this link -- there are a few pics of the U-352:

From what I've heard -- Olympus has a good reputation among Morehead-area charter ops.

My face may turn this blue, Socaldiver, but since we will probably not meet at Catalina next summer, we may have to shoot for North Carolina!
Let's work on it! But we need to keep it a secret or I might get drummed out of the CAD...even though I am one of the founders, the rules are fairly strict! So, mums the word...
Joewr...quoting Winston Churchill: "... the truth is so precious that she should be attended by a bodyguard of lies."

If I get the details together, and really work on the charter - I'm looking at the April/May time frame... want to come along?
PS the surprise is for OD -- so you may not want to come..... but for the offer of beer, he'll behave (for awhile)..

DG,
I am still stuck here on the "left coast" but if all goes well I should be back on the "easy coast" by then and would love to tag along. Especially if my "bud" to the north can take the giant stride.
I was looking at several websites last night and NC seems to be a "hotspot" for wrecks. I came across one that brought back memories. There is a Navy ship that was sunk as part of an artifical reef, USS Yancey. That ship was in our squadron way back in the 60s. Made a couple of "Med Cruises" looking out over the mighty blue at that ship. Would love to descend down to visit that as well.
Another soon to be artifical reef in Fl was among our squadron also, USS San Marcos. That will be cool to see as well.

DG and SCD,
Could be a possiblity...Barbara and I will be in Micronesia in March and in the Caribbean in early July. So, a week in May might work for us. We will be looking at 5mm wet suits in the next few weeks--do you know what the water temp would be in May? I am being dead serious here! If I am a Candy A__ Diver, Barbara is a Super Candy A__ Diver!
Beer is not a problem! I'll bring along some...you just make sure his choke chain is in good shape!

I'll check into details, and will keep you informed. The choke chain -- that's your problem
Joe,
If you decide to come and dive in my backyard, let me know. I would enjoy the opportunity to meet you and maybe do some diving together.
