    Matteo, let us know when you are in town and perhaps some of us can take you out for a beer. I have a buddy who is an Italian working in NY and also a diver. Just in case you'd want to speak your native language with someone.

    DIR Pics

    Just want to take a quick break from the humor and point out I like the site. It is a great site for referancing wrecks, dive boats and dive shops in NJ/NY.

    Question about military trained divers

    "I'm not going as far as Weekender did in his statement, but there is probably a considerable amount of information that was not shown in the documentary of the SEAL training. Those programs are produced to focus on the aspects of the particular subject which the producers feel would be most...
