Location description: Most popular wrecks:
*Alan Martin
Sunk 9-10-1987. The Alan Martin was navy oiler built in New York in 1918. She was 160 feet long had a 25 foot beam and a 26 foot draft. She was sunk with explosives as an artificial reef. She now sits in 125 feet of water on the Shark River NJ Reef site.This wreck site report is courtesy of Dan Berg and was obtained from his ``Wreck Valley`` multimedia CD. This CD and other fine wreck diving books, by Dan Berg, are available from Blue Water Divers. No portion of this page may be copied without the express permission of both Dan Berg and Blue Water Divers.
*Algol
Built in 1930 by the Northumberland Shipbuilding Co. in New Castle, England, the Arundo was formerly named the Petersfield, then Cromarty, and finally renamed Arundo. The Arundo now rests in an area called the Mud Hole. Her structure is somewhat intact, but some areas are twisted and decaying, a testament to the corrosive power of the sea. Divers can still see the rusting remains of the two steam locomotives, one of which is located in her aft-most hold buried in debris, while the other is lying on its side in the sand. Jeep tires and an abundance of beer bottles are scattered all over the wreck. Her anchors have remained in the bow of the ship and make for a nice photo opportunity.
*Andrea Doria



The Andrea Doria was built at the Ansaldo shipyards in Sestri, Genoa, and was launched in 1951. She had accommodations for 1,241 passengers, and 575 crew. She was luxurious to the last detail of her structure and was considered the flagship of the Italian Line. Today, the Andrea Doria lies on her starboard side in 240 feet of water. Her hull is now known to a small group of professional divers as the Mt. Everest of diving. Those who dare to explore this wreck must endure nitrogen narcosis, staged decompression hangs, strong currents, sharks, and long surface intervals. Gary Gentile, author of the book ANDREA DORIA, DIVE TO AN ERA, has made many such expeditions. On one of his ventures, he and his companions recovered the Doria`s stern bell. Most divers who visit this wreck are more than happy to recover some of the fine china she once carried.
*Asfalto
The Asfalto is one of the less frequented wrecks off Long Island, New York`s south shore. She sits in 95 feet of water 16 miles south-west of Jones Inlet, an area known as Wreck Valley. The Asfalto is an unidentified wreck, but she is thought by some to be a schooner barge that was sunk back on March 12, of 1932. She is approximately 300 feet long, has a 40 foot beam and a steel hull. Although not confirmed, I also believe that there is a second wreck on the site, possibly the tug which was pulling the barge.
*Choapa
This wreck is only for the experienced deep diver to explore. Although she is sitting upright in 195 feet of water, she can be reached at about 160 ft. Visibility is known to be poor, sometimes no more than one or two feet and the wreck is covered in nets and high test monofilament.
