I've also dove the German U-boat, U-1105, off of Piney Point in the Potomac a few times. It is not quite as deep as the WWI sub, but visibilities are about the same. Currents are usually a non-issue if you plan your dives accordingly.
I was aware of the U-boat, but not the sub at point Patience. What's the history on that?

I simply can't imagine diving in water that murky, that deep. You couldn't pay me to do it. Take me to the Keys!
