The Surface Interval is No More!!!

[SilverSurfer7]

The SI was a dive boat that ran out of the Indian River Inlet, DE. The operators recently sold her. If your not from the Maryland area, most of the local dive shops around here would schedule multiple trips annually on the SI. Really good crew. Very polite and accomodating to techies and neopyhtes alike. She will be missed. Does anyone know of any other dive boats in the Maryland/Delaware area that might step in to fill her void? Also, is there any beach diving available on the Delmarva? There is a ton of coastline, but I never hear about anyone beach diving. Thanks

These folks may have something for you. I can not vouch for any of them.

I have heard of none. The viz is pretty bad in close along that stretch.

However, there is a first time for everything.

Also, new this year - http://mysite.verizon.net/scubad00/index.html

Just over the border from DE in NJ there are a ton of dive boats operating - http://njscuba.net/misc/dir_boats_nj.html has a pretty fair listing, but a little searching will turn up even more.
