The biggest problem we have here with New York diving is the visability which ranges from zero to maybe on a good day 3'
In the western Sound where I have done most of my diving there is a lot of history and shipwrecks. Many of them are tugboats and most of them have steel cables, wires and fishing line all over them. You have to be able to cut this stuff off of you and your equipment in total blackness. A good knife is essential and sometimes I brought a wire cutter with me also.
