Welcome from NJ! I am a relatively new diver myself and will be training for my AOW this August, hopefully certified in time for some wreck diving off the coasts of NJ.

Hey I am interested in attending but still new to diving and do not have my own gear. Is there any local shops that rent gear out there?

Hey guys not to bring an old thread back from the dead but I am considering picking up a Nikon D5100 as an entry level DSLR camera. I will be using it for traveling and diving. I heard some concerns regarding the camera not having a distinct ISO button. Does anyone use the D5100 that may have...

Welcome. I'm from NJ myself, seems as if the cold is the least of our problems right now. I haven't done any local diving yet only a few dives under my belt. Enjoy the Grand Cayman's next week hopefully the weather down there is better than here.

Thanks guys I will take a look at them all!

So I am going to be in Fort Lauderdale this week for a job interview and may have the opportunity to make the move to the area. I was looking for reccomendations on local dive shops and just the diving scene in general down there. I am a new diver with only about 6 dives under my belt...

Thanks! Any reccomendations?

So I wanted everyone's opinion on dive computers....I am going to be purchasing fins,snorkle and mask within the next week or so as I should be diving again at the end of September. My next question is would you reccomened picking up a dive computer as my next piece of gear? It seems the...

As a new diver I have asked a similiar question to myself multiple times. I was certified in July and only have 6 dives logged to date. I went to a local dive shop today to ask a few questions and meet the owner. Currently living in New Jersey all of the diving off the coast required AOW cert...

thanks for the tips...I know that new gear will not help my abilities if I can find some used gear I will definately look into picking it up

Thanks for more feedback. I guess I will try a regular frameless mask instead of the panoramic as it seems as if the consensus is that it is not needed. They did not spend much time overviewing the buddy system. Although the instructor emphasised it during ascend/decesnt and during drills which...

So if I am using a strapped fin instead of a full footed you would reccomend wearing booties? As for finning style I was told only to use the flutter during my owc but after reading here I will try a few different types next time I dive. As far a panoramic I figured it would increase...

Hello everyone, I am a new diver who is looking to pick up some gear. Most of my divings will be while traveling but once I get some gear I will also be diving locally. I will probably not be picking up everything all at once as diving is an expensive hobby but from my research here it seems...

Congrats!

I have gone diving in Aruba for the past two year and was certified there. The diving is amazing. Over 32 dive sites, multiple wrecks and reefs I would definately reccomend it for that price.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!! Seems as if all the NJ diving is 70ft or deeper. I guess I will have to start diving a little more so I can be comfortable down that far. Its funny that you say that about skydiving. I have a group of friends that go every few months or so but I have not...

There was some great insight here from everyone. As far as the OP is concerned as a new diver as well I feel I would have done the same thing but after reading the response I see now that while moving toward the DM/buddy you can be doing other things like switching to your secondary. As they...

Great footage! I am a new diver in New Jersey. Do you do any basic dives in the area? Would definately be intersted.

Good luck I just got certified at the beggining of the month...you'll have some great times with your son.

Thanks! Do you have any reccomendations on dive spots in New Jersey?
