Have dived the railroad bridge off Pt Pleasant and Manasquan Inlet.
Railroad bridge is a relaxing dive and easy entry exit. Dive with the slack tide 14-20 feet and coming up on the tropical time of year. 3 ml suits and seahorses, puffer fish etc. Regularly there are starfish, hermit crabs mussels blue claws, fluke flounder etc. Small boat wreck and some other things. Nice dive. And still trying to figure out if there is a difference being under the bridge with the new cement stanscions when a train goes by.
Manasquan Inlet you have got to follow the tides and am told that it is very boring during the day. I did nite. Have to stay 50 feet of the rocks on the sides and out of the boating center lane (those fishing boats are quite large) 7ml suit the norm and 20-35 feet dive Current wasnt too bad lots of life tucked in the rocks, oyster crackers, eels, baby manta rays and the usual suspects . Did not see any bugs but am told they are there. Getting in was reasonable, off the seawall, a giant stride or a roll. Getting out was a challange for me but the guys went first and lent a hand, a climb up the rocks and then climb onto the wall, walk down a short distance and jump off. Parking was the headache. There is a really nice little park there but the meter issue with the new electronic meter thing was a beast. We all screwed up and under estimated and there is no way to add to the meter so overload on that to avoid the ticket.
Let me know if you want a tour, am new to diving but am learning the area fast
