Hello everybody!!

I'm new to Diving and new to this board. I did my checkouts and AOW at Dutch Springs last Sept-Nov. Did some more diving there as well as some diving in Key Largo. I'm comfortable within NDL's and have seen some currents as well as some zero vis situations (among others, on my first night dive)

Diving at Dutch Springs is cool, but I want to get some time off the boats near NYC. Total newbie to NYC diving, so any suggestions as to boats/locations, and what I need to bring with me that I don't need in FLA (I have a 7 mil farmer john suit). I own a steel 100(lp), will the boat be able refill, or do I need a second tank?

Actually, any intro to local diving will be welcome. Thanks in advance!!
