    Heli at Dutch Springs

    It is a shame people are destructive and should be banned from Dutch for such offenses but I do think new attractions would be in their best interest. The more new attractions the better IMO. I've been all over Dutch and my favorite spot is still the pump house, they could create some...

    The Koi of Dutch

    Nice video, so clear! I was at the pump house this past weekend with my buddy and it was all silted up. I've seen a few stray koi at Dutch but never a group like that. Really cool.

    Heli at Dutch Springs

    I dunno but would be cool to have a wreck bigger then the silver comet in the deep end of the quarry.

    Heli at Dutch Springs

    Just hit up the heli for the first time this season at Dutch springs. Sad to see the whole front end gone, might be time for Dutch to invest in some new attractions....

    Buy my own tank?

    I own my own tanks for the convenience of it. It does not save me money but does give me the ability to pick up and go diving whenever I want, so to me that makes it well worth while.

    How would you handle this?

    I saw it on yahoo news, when I saw them mention GratefulDiver I new I had to come over to scuba board lol. Nice job GD, I would have hated to see that happen. I really hope your efforts work to make this area a protected sanctuary.

    Diving with a kid?

    Well I am coming out and will be trying the park with my son on Sunday the 26th. Should I reserve tanks/weights somewhere in particular?

    Diving with a kid?

    I might be coming to visit my sister in late Aug. My son is 12 has 52ish dives (40 in a quarry, 12ish in the Caribbean) he is used to full 7mm wet suit etc. Is there diving there for us? I am curious about things like water temps, current, navagation, average depths etc. Just to get an idea...

    2 more upper keys dive fatalities, 8/6/2011

    Maybe I missed some details. But I don't think that is all accurate that a fairly overweighted diver with an empty cylinder can stay on the surface with minimal effort. Was he muscular build or fat? If he was slightly chubby, maybe, but if he was a muscle man it could mean overweighting would...

    Or possibly tucked between his back and the bc and not over the shoulder. Who knows.

    The ScubaBoard Store is now open...

    Have you thought of a cafe press store for some of the shirts and things, might be easier.

    Dumbest things you've seen a newbie diver do

    Ok, dumbest thing I ever did as a newbie. I was diving with my sister off my Dads small powerboat. We met two other divers on the beach that saw we were going out and asked if they could join. The four of us got on the boat and powered out to the reef, the plan was to anchor just on the deep...

    My first sightings of Bornella Anguilla & Spanish Dancer

    I saw a Spanish dancer at my local fish store the other day. Sad since it will most likely just parish in someone's tank.

    Quarry Diving: 500 Dives in a Quarry - Are You SERIOUS???

    I just did two more dives at Dutch yesterday. There were literally only me and my son by the main set of tables and one other couple of divers parked under the trees. Our first dive was 73 minutes, we saw lots of the bass, trout, sunfish, lots of fry too. We grabbed some crayfish and fed the...

    Quarry Diving: 500 Dives in a Quarry - Are You SERIOUS???

    FWIW, I dive Dutch springs usually once a week. Why? For one I do not have a dive buddy for ocean dives. My buddy for the quarry is my 11yr old. The shallow wrecks of NJ seem to be in the 60-70' range, and taking him there is IMO still inappropriate. Can he handle the current, the possible low...
