Ok - 10 am we meet in the parking lot - the address or directions should be in the first link in Post #1....

I own my own tanks so I am bringing 2 - just because I don't know if the train dive is going to be a 5 min dive or 35 mins digging around - I would love to find a Miller bottle...
Second dive would then be 100 yards away in the rubble...
I hope this works for most folks...
 
See ya guys then. I'll be in a Subaru Forester with good life divers ad on the side. I'm Danny btw.
 
This sounds unique! How far is this from the Rt 80 bridge and in what direction? Where is the ruble field in relation to the train? Is it on the NJ or PA side? It looks like the PA side on Rt 611 on google earth but I am not 100% sure. How far is the hike to Sunfish Pond?

Using Google Maps you can stick this in - 40.968701, -75.122481 and it comes up use the earth or satellite option to see. It looks like 3.1 miles once you get off the exit (is that the Rt 80 bridge you are talking about?)

The train is definitely on the PA side - based on the comments I think the rubble field is on the NJ side - USNMARS needs to give us some more details - but we may be able to drive or cross the river - we need to think about that one based on the size of the group and skills coming... (looks like it is north of Arrow Island and south of the Train Wreck)

I will be taking a dive flag - if folks have flags bring them even if we don't use all of them - easier to find folks as needed...

I have not heard back from the park on Sunfish Pond - so right now that is off the table. We may need to schedule that dive when we get permission - but if we get permission it sounds like fun...

You guys are killing me. Recovering from surgery sucks. Have a great time..
 
From everything I'm reading so far it looks like back mount is the way to go for this entry/site. I think I'll be bringing my lp 50s for this kne
