I myself wouldn't do it as I'm not trained to do it but, a lot of OW divers will go into small "swim through" without proper training. I know a swim through it's "technical" but, there is always a danger that someone could freak out and endanger themselves or others behind them. I know on the Oriskany there are swim throughs and a lot of people do them.

I guess a lot of it depends on your comfort level. Am I comfortable to do it? Sure, I don't think I'd have no problem doing it. Actually I'd really love to do it but, I promised myself (and my wife and child) that I wouldn't do anything I was trained in. So far, I've held up my end of the promise. I know I'm always tempted but, the thought of getting hurt/killed because I did something without proper training stops me.

So, I wouldn't recommend doing anything like that without training but, who's going to stop you? No one.
