The best diving is off the coast. Lots of wrecks. The better ones are farther off coast. You can count on temps in the low 50s, vis anywhere from 5-30 feet, currents depending on where you go. There are also some decent shore diving sites. You should also check out Dutch Springs while in NJ. I'm still a novice at NJ diving, but I'm working on that. I have family there and travel back there often. I'll be there in a couple of weeks and have a couple of days of diving scheduled.

BTW you might get more info in the Wreck Valley forum.

Hi Wildcard,
Diving in NJ is like a box of chocalates, you know the rest.
Wreck diving is the norm, with depths from 50fsw to full on trimix deco. There is a lot of info on the web, njscuba is one of the best, hundreds of pages of all pertinent info on nj diving.
