Hello From Long Island

[scubamanny]

This is my first posting. I live towards the end of Long Island in New York State, USA and am looking to join a dive club in the area. Any ideas out there? I dive doubles and am used to the cold. I enjoy all types of diving but have a great interest in underwater archeology. I am looking to get involved with a local group of divers and spend some time underwater. Also, I would like to get nitrox certification as well as training in decompression.

Welcome. I am also new to SB and live on LI. Get in touch (any of you) if you want to get out in the water sometime. Just a little info. I do a lot of my diving with Tiedemann's group out of Levittown - tdconline.com. They have an active group both beach and wreck diving on LI with a schedule on the website. Also check out Dan Berg's site aquaexplorers.com, I believe he does a lot of underwater archeology off his boat the RV Wreck Valley.

You didn't say how far out you were. (meaning how far east).
I am a member of LIDA, Long Island Divers' Association. But it is not a club. It is an organization dedicated to Long Island Divers and their needs. Going to web site www.lidaonline.com will detail the mission.
It also has links to shops, and clubs and dive boats.

I am also a member of "The Dive Club". It is a free standing club not associated with any shop. We have members from all over Long Island. At The Dive Club, you will find people who have just done their open water certifications to divers who have just gotten back from the Doria. We have an active beach diving committee and wreck diving committee.

We meet the first Tues of the month at Molly Malone's in Bayshore.
the web site www.thediveclub.com includes all sorts of links and directions to the meeting.

Matter of fact, we meet this Tues, Apr 4 @ 8pm. (alledgedly) Usually people get stuck at the Mohogany Reef before the meeting gets started.

just checked thediveclub site, the directions got lost. so.
Southern State parkway or Sunrise Highway to 5th Avenue. Go south to Montauk Highway (main st) turn left go to (i believe it is next light) Maple Ave. Turn right on Maple and go all the way down to the end. There on the right is Molly Malone's and big parking lot in front.
