Another fantastic diving day (night). We departed out of Vinings Landing Marine Center at 1630 Staurday and headed up to the Monroe. The Monroe was a passenger liner that sank after a collision in 1914. She rests about 17nm off Watchapreague in 90ft of water. I enjoy diving this wreck because...

There aren't many days like the one today off Virginia Beach. Though the water was on the cooler side the visibility and sea state were incredible! We departed Vinings Landing Marine Center (Little Creek) at 0730 and made 45mph on the way outbound to the Triangle Reef area. Finding a...

Fellow Divers, Wanted to let you know about a new program for Virginia Fisherman sponsored by the Virginia Marine Resource Commission (VRMC). By now we've all had exposure to NOAA's National Saltwater Angler Registry and also know that it now costs you $15 to renew your card in 2011...

Had Kevin (Kevin_K) and Randy (Randy g) aboard for a trip to the Tiger. We experienced a small amount of chop heading to the wreck but made great time covering the 20nm from Little Creek to the Tiger. The Tiger rest about 6nm off SandBridge in 60-65ft of water. She foundered while under tow...

Another beautiful day on the water off Virginia Beach. Though the NOAA forecast didn't exactly come true... The ride outbound was a bit bumpy, making about 22-28 knots; we occasionally hit one of those dominant waves and sent gear shifting. We departed Vinings Landing (Little Creek inlet) at...

WOW, what a nice day on the water! We departed Vinings Landing Marine Center (Little Creek) at 0700 with three divers onboard (myself, Kevin_K, and TnTdive). Once past the Cape Henry area we opened the throttle and made the 40nm trip cruising at 36 knots. Seas were only swells 1-2ft. We...

Well, it was another absolutely beautiful Virginia Beach day on the water! A group of five departed Vinings Landing Marina (Little Creek inlet) at 1115 this morning in order to dive a new wreck at high tide. The trip outbound was only about 7nm and was a very short ride with smooth seas...

I had the chance to take a group of Open Water Students to the Tower this morning. A small group of three plus two others and the Instructor. Could not have asked for a better day out on the water! Light winds and small swells made the boat trip quick and comfortable. Their first two...

Kurn - Sunday, 8 Nov It was a near perfect day to head offshore for diving the Va Beach wrecks. The NOAA weather was right on the mark with 3-4ft seas in the morning and laying flat in the afternoon. We headed out to the southeast corner of the Triangle Reef area, to a wreck call the Kurn...

A trip to the Tiger wreck should be an easy thing. It's off the south end of Va Beach (Sandbridge) only 8.5nm offshore. But when the wind and sea state doesn't cooperate it makes for an interesting day. The sea sate outbound was less swell-like (the forecast) and more steep-like. Winds...

There's always interest in getting the numbers... Here are the numbers I use on my boat (and have hooked with them). Use caution if you download GPS numbers from any one of those "Internet sources" (you know the ones). They are notoriously off, sometimes by a mile and sometimes less, it's a...
