Any suggestions on for a first time dive to the 'Windjammer'? I'm hoping for a course but don't know if deep and wreck are/can be combined. Any suggestions?

The Windjammer is not a deep dive in the PADI advanced sense but a deep dive in the technical diving sense. I know that Benji (Caribbean Gas Training) and Walt (Rec Tec Scuba) offer courses and I think Toucan Diving does too. First you need to get certified for Tech Diving and then you need to go with a Tech Guide that has a special permit to make the dive (the people mentioned above can all get this permit as far as I know).

Plan for 200 ft; you can do the wreck with less depth but you won't see as much. Trimix, of course.

If I recall, you can touch the rail at about 165 FSW. I would probably do the dive at about 180 or so. 200 FSW is a good planning point...
