    Rockport Parking Fines Going Up

    Interesting information. I did not know that non-residents could get a seasonal beach parking permit for $100. Might be worth it.

    Shore Diving near Rochester, NY?

    I was an instructor in Rochester about 10 years ago. At that time we used to use Deep Run Cove on Canandaigua Lake but I believe that site is now closed to divers because of the underwater intake located there. Diving on Lake Ontario in that area is not usually done because it is so shallow...

    Kona Aggressor

    I was on the Kona Aggessor from March 29 thru April 4 (a couple of weeks ago) and enjoyed the trip very much. The boat usually holds 14 persons and there were only six divers on this trip so I got my own cabin. There were six crew to take care of six divers so it felt very luxurious. Captain...

The visibility varied from place to place. We started out from Freeport and visited some sites in that area and then made...
