Atlantic city

[Zeldah]

Hey guys

Looks like I am coming to Atlantic City in July and I wondered if there is any decent diving nearby. My son and I are newly certified with only 5 dives completed in the Caymans. We need something in the 40 ft range preferably as my son is only 13. Is there an outfit you could recommend and also what kind of temp are we looking at for the water? I'm thinking it will not be as nice as the Caymans

Thanks for any help and advice!!

No boat that I'm aware of is going to 40fsw. Well, unless you arrange for a private charter. I'm also not aware of any shore diving there either (but I could be wrong). You might find a boat going to 70fsw though, but you're not ready for that yet, imo.
No, NJ diving is nothing like diving the Caymans (I was in GC in Feb). Think dark(ish), cold(ish), much more limited viz, BUT lots more fun, imo.

The boat diving in the region is not quite the Caymans, the shallowest wreck that the charter boats go to in that region is 60fsw. Best to contact East Coast Diving Supply in that area.

Francousteau and Cobra - Thanks for the info. Going to have to try and convince hubby to go to Bahamas instead. Maybe when we are more advanced we will come see some of those wrecks
