Looking for a dive operator NJ, NY PA area

[SeaHound]

Id like to make frequent trips to this area for diving / photography. Any charters that run regularly from these areas? Recommendations on dive sites are also welcome.

Thanks

there are a slew of good boats and captains stretching from cape may to montauk.
it might help to narrow down the long island / nj coastline a bit.

there are thousands of ship wreck sites alone with a wide range of required skill level.
you might want to narrow that list as well based on what depths, runtimes and general conditions you require.

Thanks Xjae,

I am interested in diving 130 ft wrecks max as I am not tech certified at the moment. I will be traveling so it really does not matter which coast or area etc. I have been told that Long Beach is known for good diving so I would like to try that out. Generally speaking everything above 130 is fairgame.

Seahound,

You may want to take a look at New Jersey Scuba Diver to get an idea of the wrecks around NJ. As XJae said, there're a lot of dive boat operations and wrecks all over the coast of NJ.

If you want to join us out of Brielle, I can wholeheartedly recommend the cast and crew of the Gypsy Blood for some of the best wreck diving in NJ!

See link below - Ray

That said, there are plenty of great boats out of NJ and there's not really any one that I WOULDN'T recommend.

Thanks a lot RJP. I checked the calendar and all spots were empty. When is your next dive?

The 2008 calendar isn't up on our site yet, but you can book through local shops that have charters scheduled (most of our trips are done this way):

2008 - Northeast Wreck Diving Schedule

Elite Divers Local Diving

Blue Water Divers: Wrecks

Hunterdon SCUBA Center

Hope to see you out there!
