    Question Best St. Lawrence River diving

    Couple other options I’ve used are Thousand Islands Dive Excursions with Captain Ken and Arrow Charters with Captain Carl. They all hit the same wrecks. Clayton and A Bay are both great towns to stay in, you really can’t go wrong with who you choose.

    Dive Rite Slide Lock reel

    I’m a big fan, I like the one handed operation and have never had them unlock accidentally. Mine have a shackle style bolt snap which is far superior to a double ender. I’m sure you would be happy with any higher end sidewinder style reel, there are tons of choices available. 250ft minimum...

    Dive Rite Slide Lock reel

    Lol believe it or not I blame Chris. If you get out there it’s tied off at the base of the wreck below the tie in. We were already running late and I didn’t have much time to look.

    Marking Strobes

    I’ll chime in for the Big Blue 1300. Aluminum body, rechargeable, and the switch is much better than the Tek Tite twist to turn on/off.

    iDeco - Settings - Imperial / Metric / SACs / Last Stop / GFs etc

    For multiple dives you need to add a surface interval and it will give you the box for dive 2. The app is wonderful, I use it to plan all my dives. It matches Multideco and has all the features I want and need.

    Diver missing from Vandenberg Wreck in Key West

    According to the news reports he is an instructor at a shop in Key West, Lost Reef Adventures. I assume that means he knows the wreck, is familiar with strong currents, and is properly outfitted for ocean diving. Gives some hope that he is adrift and can be found.

    Question Updated "Dutch Springs replacement" thread...

    We dove from the NJ side that day. I’m not sure if they have any access open to the Point of Gap overlook. I’ve scootered between the two sites when I didn’t want to pay the bridge toll but it would be tough to get to the train wreck site with 611 being closed. I much prefer diving the PA side.

    Question on Fit - Deep 6 Eddy

    I wear Eddy size XL in wetsuit boots and dry boots. We have the same size feet, size 12US. Try them on in the water, I think you have the right size. Worst case get a chunkier boot.

    Question Understanding the NJ Shore Dive Scene

    You’re on the right track, Gypsy Blood and the Independence 2 are the biggest charter operators. Both run rec and tech trips. Spots went fast this year but you can still find openings. You also have the Ol Salty in Belmar and the Dina Dee in Barnegat. Idk where to direct you for CCR support...

    What went wrong on your dive today/recently? And what did you learn?

    Came here to lick my wounds and it seems I'm not the only one... I dropped my primary light yesterday on my last deco stop. I don't really know how it happened, it was cold, I reached for the anchor line and I saw it going to the bottom. Dive was over an hour in 45F water. If anyone wants to...

    how do you stay alive while gaining experience?

    Do the dives, dive conservative GFs, realize when you mess up and how to never have those feelings again.

    Cape May Wreck Dives - Atlantic Divers

    They’re legit, Gene Peterson is the contact. He’s been doing it as long as anyone. They use several different boats in the area to run their trips. Only issue if you’re not local is they will issue store credit for a blowout instead of a refund.
