Thanks for the responses, I look forward to reading more. I will look into Nitrox. I talked to one shop and they said AOW is not neccessasy, they would rather do two days the first being on one of the easier wrecks. I am definitly going to get a DM. I decided on this for a few reasons.
1. It is a new place and type of diving for me.
2. They would be able to guide me to the best areas.
3. If I am buddied up with someone else who is paying $$ and I got nervous and had to cut the dive short I would not be ruining someone else's dive.
4. If I did run into trouble I would be more prone to acknowledge I need to call the dive instead of being worried about my buddies dive being ruined.
