Welcome from Nova Scotia and a Yonkers native. If you dive locally, there something online called Beach Diving, NY/NJ-- something like that anyway. I was at a PADI meeting years ago in FL and I told an instructor I fished in the Hudson by standing waste deep. He said-- "Hope you put a plug in your arsehole and a bandaid on your peepee".
 
The Hudson is so clean now they had to rebuild all the wooden piers on the West Side because the marine bores came back. We live across from Inwood Park and can watch the Bald Eagles flying around looking for fish. Mostly, though, they just ride the ice flows and grab the fish out of the water. Lazy buggers.

Yeah I know. No more '70s jokes like "it just burned down" or "you can walk across it-- no it's not frozen".
 
There's always the Kill Van kull though....
I remember hearing not too many years ago where someone got the idea to use that water in their darkroom to see if it partially developed their negative film or paper. (Yes, some people still use the darkroom and analogue photography!)
And yes, there was some chemical reaction using that water.
 
It's the only New York.

Welcome to SB. If you ever want to get together for drinks and obsessive conversation, let me know. My wife doesn't let me talk about scuba at home anymore.
you weren't talking to me, but I'd gladly talk obsessively about scuba. my husband doesn't dive and doesn't get it LOL.
not finished with open water, but I'm a huge nerd and read a lot.
