[TyGuy]

ive been hearing alot about wrecks right of the shores in long island. ive found some sites with info about the general locations of these wrecks but can really find and specifics. what im wondering is if anyone has done shore dives here and any of the wrecks. or if theres any websites with solid information and destinations. thanks

I've done numerous dives off of the shores of Long Island and I have done many wreck dives as well, my limit is those wrecks in the 130 feet range and shallower but there are many deeper wrecks for the more advanced tech divers.

Here's a great site for shore diving information as well as a good description of most of the Wreck Valley Shipwrecks.

scuba equipment, Aqua Explorers, Inc  shipwreck books and Wreck Valley charter dive boat.

I'm very curious about those CT wrecks as well. I know of one in RI that's off of Westerly Town Beach, but its in only 15 feet of water.

I booked 2 dive spots on the Eagles Nest for Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. With the Euphoria out of the picture due to Kevin's untimely passing, and with him having made trips throughout the week, that's a lot of displaced divers that will be heading for other boats, such as myself.

The Eagle's Nest will also be treating divers to an upclose look at the Thunderbird's Air Show following the dives, and of course the "Surface Interval Barbeque".

I'm already looking forward to it, as is my girlfriend to her first cold water diving experience.

My logbook shows a dive on the USS SanDiego in late May, with temps on the wreck at 47 degrees. It was a bit "chilly", especially with wet suit compression and around my face where the hood didn't cover my forehead completely.

I'd also be interested in the CT shore dives.
