I want to try to get one more dive in this year if possible... not sure exactly when, but I know that ScubaSamantha and I were trying to set something up as well. Do you have a dry suit? Maybe we can set up a group outing!

Cool! The water temperature is probably not too bad... that lags the air temperature by a month or so...

You got nitrox certified before open water?

Fantastic Pictures!

I've got a few online that I took there last year.

Regulars around the beach likely Know Di Dieter, I'm one of his assistants.

GREAT Shots...! I definitely want to try to get back there again this year... not sure when I'll have time, maybe November? Do you go often?

Hey doctormike. Checkout the DNY group, there's a thread started about diving the beach on Nov 1st.

Got enriched air but can't use it till I'm certified LDS holding the EA cert. Should resolve that problem at B8th street on Nov 1. Wish I had a Dry suit LOL
