Ok, so I know its probably not the best place to dive. However, this past weekend in order to make my wife happy (she doesn't dive and wanted to take the kids to the beach) and to also get some dive time in, I had my buddy meet me at Scarburough beach in Rhode Island. I was a little apprehensive to kitting up right on the beach so we suited up in the parking lot and walked out of bounds of the lifegaurd station. We then surface swam out to about 15 feet deep water and proceded to dive. We then turned into the swimming area and had a great dive of depths up to 20 feet deep. Nothing too exciting but saw a number of fish lobsters and other stuff, overall it was a pretty cool reef. So at about 1500 PSI we decide to turn around and swim towards shore where my wife was. We surfaced in about 4 feet of water with about 100 people looking at us. Everyone was laughing because they had no idea what we were, but overall everyone thought it was great and was asking us alot of questions about what we saw. I am pretty sure the lifegaurds saw us, if not they really suck at thier jobs. I am also sure if they had a problem with it they would have said something to us because people were tossing a football in the water an a LG immediatly ran over blowing his wistle and made them stop.
Like I said, its not the best place to dive around here, but it was fun, and it beats sitting on the beach. I am thinking of just kitting up right on the beach where our beach towels and stuff are setup from now on. Does anyone see any problems with this?
