    What does it take to get you to carry (& use) an SMB & spool on every ocean dive?

    I have an smb and reel on every dive I do. I deploy them as conditions warrant. We also provide SMBs to any diver that comes aboard without one. We have about 6 loaners that stay on the boat. Lowviz it would be great to see you diving off the coast again. Of course it its on Gypsy I...

    Average/ Longest Decompression and your Thoughts

    Average deco is probably about 1 hour to 90 minutes of deco. The longest I have done is around 2 hours maybe a little more.. I have planned some stuff with 3 to 3 1/2 but weather keeps scrubbing those.

    Tec, Where to begin??

    I wouldn't eliminate any agency from from your search and for another instructor to tell you to do that lacks a bunch of professionalism. Your best bet is to reach out to a few instructors in your area and interview them regardless of affiliation. Many very good tech instructors hold certs...

    New Diver looking for a spot

    Hey Welcome to the sport. Gull Island Park in Point Pleasant is a very easy shore dive, as is L street in Belmar. Best time for both sites is slack high.

    Dive boat etiquette - list

    Marine tiolet paper can go in the head. Regular toilet paper should not. We always have marine toilet paper on board and brief customers as such and knock on wood we have yet to have a clog. Paying attention to the briefing is one that should be stressed. Take the few minutes to stop...

    Big Bug

    After watching a 9 lber shatter a beer bottle with his crusher claw. I would take video of this one and wish him the best. I value my fingers more than a big bug. Besides in NJ he would be illegal to take.

    Why dive wrecks like Andrea Doria

    " I couldn't disagree with this statement more. Would you say the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor has no history because it is rusting. The Doria still holds a ton of mystery. Less than two years ago the second bell came up, by a diver doing his first dive on the Doria Two N.J. divers find...

    Will Shops & Instructors like this, or hate this?

    I applaud your desire to improve the over all skill of divers on the market, but I really can't see this being received very well from a majority of the shops out there. Many shops will be closed minded to something like this and see it as an attempt to steal business. Shops that are willing...
