AfterDark, I share your pain I am only able to dive in the NE also. But yes they don't have the 853! When you tie on to the mooring line of the u-boat and can see the U.S. main land in sight really brings into perspective how close the war was to home. It's been a few years since I have dove the wreck, what operators go out there? I have only used Captain Wane on the Canned air. As for my next dive? I have no idea! Right now I have a massive head and chest cold, the temp is a balmy 8F and the wind is blowing about 40MPH, gotta love the NE.
I think Canned air is still going out there. Private boats are my favorite way to get out there, nobody telling me how or how long to dive. Giant Strides Dive Shop Warwick, RI runs trips out there all summer as well as dozens of other wrecks in our waters from the Bay to around Block Island.
And for you tech divers the shop also runs dives to USS Bass in 160-190FSW.
