Mars,

You might have more luck over at www.wreckvalley.com There're a couple guys from your area who might be interested.

Any interest in diving off the coast of Jersey?

Im going to try to hit up Round Valley Reservoir later on this year. The diving is supposed to be pretty good there and the vis is supposed to be pretty decent there as well. Im trying to get a list of lakes together that I can go diving in NJ, if anyone has some more info, please PM me.

Wallenpaupak is a bugger. Viz is usually crap and you'd have to do it after the boat season is done.

I live within walking distance of Round Valley reservoir. It's a beautiful lake, and the viz should be pretty good... but the problem is that there is absolutely nothing to see there. The bottom is pretty much a bare layer of silt, there's not much fish or other aquatic life to see, and there's really nothing of interest to look at. From what I understand, it's a very boring place to dive. You're better off diving at Dutch Springs, where at least there's stuff to see and do while you dive.

An aside: I was up in Branchville NJ last weekend.

Do they allow diving in Culvers Lake?
