Wreck Diving in Newfoundland

I find diving the perfect compliment to any mountaineering activity: It takes the saying/bumper sticker, Fight Gravity, to a whole new, weird level. It relaxes the mind and body before or after any kind of climbing. (Just be careful about the rules regarding altitude, and of flying to your destination when planning a dive.) We love to explore underwater sea mounts, walls and precipices, and I have often did ascents, 'possibly first underwater ascents,' which I guess is using aid, given the whole neutral buoyancy thing, and the whole bladder filled with air thing along with the ocean assisting me up the cliff. Well, if its aid we should have a new rating system, like SW-1, SW-2 (Sea Water rating 1, 2, etc. or is this just plain stupid?) Yup, it probably is...
