New to Area, Need Diving Suggestions

[NJScubaDoc]

I recently moved to Northern Virgnia from New Jersey where I was .5 miles from the Ocean...here, not so much.

Sooo I need some suggestions on where to dive, and who to dive with. I prefer ocean dives and realize I'm a ways from the Ocean (I live near Fairfax, VA) but imagine there has to be some decent diving out of the Chesapeake and related areas.

So if you have any suggestinos for boats, shops, or anything, please let me know, thanks!

Ocean City, Eastern Shore of VA, Virginia Beach, then there's The Outer Banks and Morehead City in NC (bit of a trip - but well worth the extra vis, temp, and abundance of great dives).
I usually dive with Lynnhaven Dive Center out of Va Beach (some pretty cool wartime wrecks, but vis can be hit or miss), and any of the Morehead operators are top-notch. No experience yet with Ocean City, but sure someone on here will help out. I'd definitely try to dive the ocean rather than the Chesapeake Bay.

Great thanks!

Ya, I've been to Morehead twice from Jersey and I love that I'm a heck of a lot closer now than before.
