Your next question is, why??? We were training to dive the shipwreck André Dora, doing a mixed gas dive with decompression stops. It was all for nothing as our dive was canceled just before we entered water as two divers on another boat died just before us. After hearing the news and watching the recovery we decided there nothing down there we needed to see.
PS: Don’t even start with the chart says the deepest point is 187’… it’s wrong…

The Andrea Doria. That accident fascinated me as a kid in the 1970's. I still like to look up stories about it. I guess she settled on a rather deep ocean floor...that is something I didn't know.
