Hello, New Diver here in NJ

[rockaduc]

Just received my OW a few months ago via Pro Dive Mexico. I finally just committed and did it! I am very excited to have stumbled onto this board! See you folks around.

Morris County, North Jersey.

Are you from the Garden State as well?

Indeed I am. Currently in Galloway. About 15 mins from Atlantic City.
You ever make it down this way?

 

[rockaduc]

Yes, we usually head down for some golfing and gambling or just some gambling and debauchary (sp?) a few times per year (hasn't happened yet this year though). i have lived in NJ my entire life and I remember what a dump AC used to be. It's nice to see the city getting much needed TLC.

Welcome aboard scubaboard.

Welcome to SB from a fellow NJ diver!

Hopefully you'll dive locally and not just while in one of those fancy warm-water, pretty-fishy destinations!

:d

welcome to scuba and the Board. Yes as RJP mentioned there is actually some great diving to be done here in NJ, a few shore dives that have nice area's (Manasquan inlet / Shark River/ RR Bridge) as well as a few others I am sure the more experinced Jersey diver can fill you in on. Also great boats here (Gypsy Blood - Independe II)

WOW!! Believe it or not, i really didn't even think NJ had any good diving spots. I will definitely have to check these out with my local dive shop!!!!!

Thanks for the heads-up!!

Also, thanks for all the welcomes. I've been cruising the board for only a few days, and can already see you folks are pretty great.
