Your profile doesn't have any info.. are you looking at wreck penetration or recreational wreck diving?
cast:
Where are you located, what's your current experience/training level, and what do you consider "serious?"
I live in Nashua,NH. Current training level AOW, comfortable with deep dive(within120feet).Just looking for some challange. Eventually want to go tek and try wreck penetration...not sure how to preceed. But I want to focus on wreck, because seems to me there is no much to see besides wreck at that depth around here.

Many people belive the best route to is to get some cave training if you want to go into wrecks.
I would also recommend some GUE training for you at this point.
You might want to start by taking a non-penetration wreck course. If you can locate a good instructor in your area, a basic wreck course should help you get a better understanding of wreck diving to include hazards, orientation, etc.
As for getting into wreck penetration, you should be comfortable using redundant air sources, reels, lights, and a long hose regulator (to name a few things). In addition, you will probably find that decompression/mixed gas training will be very useful for wreck penetration especially at the depth range you mentioned.

Well I've never done any diving within a couple of hours of NH, but if your willing to make a bit farther drive to the Seaway/Lake Ontario area, you might want to check out Alp-Maritimes Sports (URL=http://]www.technicaldivingops.com[/URL]). Gary Kulisek runs very good and saftey oriented dive operations. Depending on the amount of time you have available, you could likely combine several courses during one of their liveaboard trips. Not only that, but the Seaway/Lake Ontario area is a great place to train because there are a large number of wrecks with a wide range of difficulty levels.
