Comments The Oriskany dives are not for the new diver. Some of the currents can be strong, have some experience at boat diving. The boat will take technical and open water divers on the same trip. The diving is very good and the crew on the boat really knows how to take care of divers. I know that I will be going back, just not soon enough.
