The Chesapeake has some great boating, but it is shallow and murky. Once it starts to really warm up, it becomes infested with sea nettles (stinging jellyfish). I sailed there for many years, but I am not interested in diving there.
The Jersey Shore is fairly advanced diving, deep and often cold. Many operators require advanced certification. The sites require long boat rides adding to the cost compared with other areas.
My local quarry diving is at Dutch Springs, three hours from you. It is a very nice dive park, but not the ocean.
For a weekend trip, there is some great diving off the NC coast. During the summer when the Gulf Stream swings west the temp and vis are very nice.
Lots of inland options -
Guppy Gulch is the closest quarry... about 45 minutes north of Baltimore
Bainbridge Quarry is about 1.5 hours north of Baltimore
Millbrook Quarry is about 1.5 hours south of baltimore
There are other quarries farther away...
New Jersey is a 1.5 - 2 hour drive north for off shore diving
Ocean City MD and Fenwick Island DE offer decent diving about 2.5 - 3 hour drive away
There are two great places to dive about 7 hour drives from Baltimore - South to NC and North to Upstate NY.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate the info.
I got certed in NJ and split my check outs between Dutch Springs and Shark River Inlet, so I'm sort of familiar with those options. Never got around to diving the offshore NJ/NY wrecks, though. Ocean City seems like a good option. Guess I'm gonna have to pick up some deco training...
Hey just want to put my two cents in there is also hydes quarry located in westminster which is about a half hour 45 min away from bmore depending on where you are
