You are correct, there is no data between MV and Falmouth. You "settings" are fine. NOAA just hasn't done a multibeam survey in that area. My group has used the data to explore many many new wrecks that in all probability, have never been dived before. Some have a lot of structure and some have...
I didn't create them. These are images from the NOAA survey of that area so they are your tax dollars at work! Don't use the numbers in the image as they don't correlate to anything. I can send the numbers if you want. OTF probably has them as well. Yeah they look like two fishing vessels.

The last time I dove the Merrill was back in 1996 when we were still using LORAN so unfortunately I do not have GPS numbers on her. She was mostly buried back then. You have several other options in the area: Steamer Kershaw, Schooners Francis Taussig and Sagamore. I don't know what your range...
Absolutely! Eldredge is what we always used before the Navionics and others like it came out. It works well. It's just easier to look it up on an app. The app also has a chart showing the current at various times which is great for those of us that are more visual people.
Jordan. You can't use tide tables to predict slack water. Slack can differ from high or low tide by a lot, as you found out. Use Eldredge or better yet, buy the Navionics app for your phone($30). It shows most of the Tide and Current stations. Click on the nearest station and it will show you...
There are no salvage rights on the wreck. Anyone can dive it. The reason no one dives it regularly is that the visibility is usually lousy. We used to dive it out of my diveboat but it had bad vis almost all the time. The one time we had decent vis was also the one time I had a camera with me...
Yes it is pretty interesting, more so if you are into history. I have my own diveboat so we hit it a couple times each season. Its an easy 16 mile run from the mooring. After 30 years and multiple visits to the wreck i would say that basking ridge diver is dead on. It can be great and it can be...
That was John Langella's boat. I went by them when were heading back to Dutch Harbor yesterday. Talk to Red at Giant Stride. He runs the charters on John's boat for Newport area stuff and Wayne Gordon's Canned Air or the "Priority" for Block Island
Thank you. Unfortunately I can't make it to the swap. Sooo, because I really need room in my shed I am willing to let the whole
collection of gear go for $100. Is anyone interested?
