Pam, get him certified and take him to the U-352. It's a great dive. It's the only German U-Boat sunK by the U.S. Coast Card during WW II. It's about 30 miles off the coast of Morehead City, North Carolina.
If you can, I would try to show him the insides of both a WWII sub, and a more modern one .. the contrasts would be striking
(I still can't get over that the normal diving depth of a WWII sub is only about as deep as it is long ... about 300ft)

Further north, There is battleship cove in Fall River ma. and the USS Albacore in portsmouth nh.

I'm working on it. . . he is the cautious one so he is 'thinking about' the scuba thing . . my daughter on the other hand has been harassing me for 2 months . . . I think the war ship wreck dives are going to push my son over the edge into this great sport .. . .

What? I'm sorry I'm having trouble hearing you - I'm hearing 'yada yada yada' . . . :tongue2:
Hey Pam - As a kid I was on the USS Ling in Hackensack NJ. The NJ Naval Museum is online The New Jersey Naval Museum Hompage. There is an interactive flash for the LING that looks neat.
