    Finishing up my first year...

    A little over a year ago I finally decided to pull the trigger and start diving. I picked out a local shop that was referred to me by a few people, and started my OW training. After completing my check dives I tagged along with my instructor whenever he had more classes, just to build on my...

    Lake George

    I haven't looking into Champlain yet. I just found out a family member will have their boat in the water at Champlain the same week, so it turns out I might be heading there. Also, does anyone have a good point for the John Jay? I have the basic idea of its location, but its based on a...

    WTB Backup computer

    Hello everyone. I'm looking for another dive computer as a backup/loaner for buddies. I'll be using it just as a bottom timer, but I would like something simple with standard functions that I can loan to a buddy from time to time as well. Let me know if you have anything like a mates puck or veo...

    Lake George

    I haven't heard of Anthony's Nose for diving, but found it on the map. What type of sights and depths should I expect there? -BC

    Lake George

    Hey guys, I decided to revive this thread instead of starting a new one. I am getting closer to my Lake George trip, and now that school has settled down for the summer I wanted to put some more time into planning. Thank you all who recommended dive ops, but I think I'll be diving with a...

    Dive Housing for Hero 4 Silver so you can see screen???

    I've used the standard case in shallow water with great results. My current setup has a flip 3.1 filter system which doesn't fit on the standard housing. I believe the standard has a glass lens so that shouldn't be an issue. I guess if you have the right filters the regular case would probably...

    Dive Housing for Hero 4 Silver so you can see screen???

    Here is what I did with mine, but it hasn't been in the water yet. I bought the hero 4 silver with the integrated screen. I also have the standard hero 3+ dive housing which does not have the clear back door (foam in the middle). I attempted to remove the foam in the middle, but messed up the...

    Lake George

    I think I have a chart somewhere. Otherwise I'll find one online. Can you send me that pdf? That would be terrific. BC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lake George

    Hey Guys, I'll be heading to Lake George (NY) this summer, and was looking for some dive sites. I noticed there were some maps but the links are all dead. Does anyone have any current locations of the actual wrecks, interesting rock walls or formations, etc.? Thanks, BC

    Fish ID?

    Thank you all very much. Black Sea Bass it is, based on what was posted. It was in a NJ inlet at night. Thanks again, -BC

    Fish ID?

    Hello All, I was looking through some video footage from New Jersey and found a few of these fish: I grew up freshwater fishing, but I'm limited when it comes to NJ saltwater. Can someone ID this fish for me? During night dives, I find these sitting on the bottom motionless unless you get...

    Finished my AOW dives in Rhode Island.

    Howdy folks, This past weekend, as many of you following my compass catastrophe and my Rhode Island inquiry likely already know, was the last portion of my SSI AOW certification. As many of you know, the SSI program requires training and experience as opposed to just taking a class and doing...

    Rhode Island (Newport and Jamestown) Conditions this weekend?

    We hit fort wetherill this morning for our current dive, which was a blast. We got beat up by the surf getting in and the current was moving well, but it was a lot of fun. Navigation went very well, the oceanic compass I got was a breeze. We did 3 nav runs without any problems at all. This...

    Rhode Island (Newport and Jamestown) Conditions this weekend?

    Hey guys, I am heading up to Jamestown and Newport Rhode Island (from NJ) to finish my AOW training. Anyone have any recent reports or potential expectations for the weekend? Visibility? Sea Conditions? We will be doing shore dives in both areas on Friday and Saturday. Thanks, -BC

    Compass issues

    Any tips on blind navigation? What about when you are at a depth that has nothing to reference? For example, while in 50' of water and mounting a depth of 25' and attempting to navigate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compass issues

    Thanks man. I am from North Jersey, right near the Willowbrook Mall in Wayne. I actually picked up the Oceanic SWIV and it is miles ahead of that other piece of junk. I can now effectively land navigate with it, and it is much closer (although still not quite as capable) as my lensatic. I...

    Compass issues

    Hey guys. I have been working on my navigation as part of my AOW series (SSI), and have run into some trouble. I purchased a slate/compass combo from trident through my LDS and have become frustrated with it. On various local limited vis dives I have used it without much difficulty, but also...

    NJ Wreck Diving
