Hey,
My friend and I are trying to figure out how we can do a scuba trip over the summer. The issue is that we are both college students and college students aren't known for being loaded, even if we got the state to pay our tuition. I think we could each probably stand to spend about 1000 dollars. We are willing to rough it quite a bit in terms of eating like **** and sleeping in my friends car, but we can't really find a way to get good diving.
Neither of us have much experience, so I'm wondering if you guys could help me find out if it's realistic to get a "good" trip. All we care about is seeing good things underwater, and staying as long as possible. I define good as sharks. I like seeing other nice fish and reefs and ****, but sharks are really what we want to see. Whales and dolphins are also awesome, but mostly sharks.
We want somewhere within a two day's drive of Boston. We're gonna rent motar boats to dive off of because we can't afford organized trips and we want to stay out at 8-10 days, making for a 10-12 day trip total. Do you guys know of a place within a two days drive where shark spots are just a quick boat ride away?
More shark infested spots are the best spots, but do any of you guys know anything about Maine, MA, or Jersey in particular?
Thank you
