Divers - We need your help to bring some excitement to the idea of Bay Diving...

The "Retriever" is a fully outfitted six-pack vessel which will begin operating in the Chesapeake Bay in 2010 for private diving charters. We're asking local divers like you - who have an interest in chartering private dive groups which part of the bay you'd like to dive and where it would be most convenient to board the vessel.

All Charters will be private bookings allowing us to custom a plan for your group - there will be no open boat charters. Boat will be available to operate for private parties 7 days a week.

We have lots of options on where to dock it and a variety of dive locations under consideration.

Please tell us:
1. Would you prefer to board the boat in the Baltimore area, Annapolis area or further south (and where.)
2. Which part of the bay are you interested most in diving? The Upper Bay, Middle Bay or Lower bay.

If you have specific sites in mind, please let us know...

Finally, If you would prefer a better option for diving in Ocean City MD, let us know that as well.

Still seeking Captains and DM's to operate as Mates.

If you have specific questions, please give us a call at 443-772-0595
 
Looks interesting, I think it might be nice to have a few open boat charters, and maybe a few "Intro" diving days for people unfamiliar with the region or less experienced divers who are curious about diving the bay. Perhaps head up around the calvert cliffs area and look for some fossils?
 
I would really like to see the charter go to more wreck type dives where there might be deeper water and more marine life to see. I know it is limited by the environment, but I would be willing to go a little further (ie to Annapolis or a little further south) for better dive sites.
