==Diving==
Gary Gentile is a wreck diver. It has been suggested that Gary Gentile may be the most experienced wreck diver in the world.〔In the book ''Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria'' by Kevin McMurray (ISBN 0743400631) the view is expressed: "Of all aboard the ''Wahoo'', () Gentile was by far and away the most experienced deep-wreck diver in the group, if not in the world. Gentile had been diving the () ''Doria'' since 1974 and had more dives logged on the ocean liner than anyone else."()〕 He has dived on the wreck of the ''SS Andrea Doria'' (sometimes referred to as the "Mount Everest" of SCUBA diving) over 190 times,〔Gary Gentile, ''The Advanced Wreck Diving Handbook'', ISBN 978-1-883056-29-2. This was a record at the time, although this was surpassed by Dan Crowell in 1999; Kevin McMurray, ''Deep Descent'', ISBN 978-0-7434-0063-3, at page 269.〕 and was the first diver to penetrate the first class dining room of the vessel. He was also part of the team of divers, along with Bill Nagle, who recovered the ship's bell in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Treasures of the ''Andrea Doria'' ) In the book, ''Shadow Divers'', Robert Kurson indicates that the team had a "last man standing" arrangement, whereby the last one of them left alive would keep the bell.〕
During the early 1990s, Gentile pioneered the use of mixed gases in wreck diving. He has also participated in expeditions to the ''SMS Ostfriesland'' (at a depth of 380 feet), which would serve as the impetus for greater exploration of deep-water shipwrecks, and the ''RMS Lusitania'' (at a depth of 300 feet).
He achieved fame within the diving community with his publication of ''The Advanced Wreck Diving Guide'' in 1988.〔Much of the material was subsequently republished in ''The Advanced Wreck Diving Handbook'' in 2007. In the latter book he commented that he eventually had to approach a non-diving publisher to publish the original ''Guide'', as reputable diving publishers were afraid to publish a book which talked openly about decompression diving techniques.〕 He also published the first book on technical diving, ''The Technical Diving Handbook'', and the field began to gain recognition as a separate stratum of the sport from conventional recreational diving. In many of his books Gentile notes that before technical diving was recognised as a sub-stratum of the sport, divers who consciously engaged in planned decompression diving were shunned by major diver training agencies as "gorilla divers".
