*Discover Scuba
About Learning to Scuba Dive.
Once you decide to learn to scuba dive, you`ll need to select a dive shop and possibly a instructor if you have been recommended to one. Basic certification requires that each student purchase their instruction book and / or videos. These are usually included in the course cost. Many classes use videos and computer CD`s for visual training in class and at home. Pool sessions are held offsite in many cases, although many shops now have their own pools.
*Training & Safety
Diving technical issues.
In this section, we cover aspects of scuba diving, dive boat operations and safety issues for diving. As in any other area of sport SCUBA diving, proper training is essential ! The information provided here is for educational value only and should not be taken for instruction or certification purposes!
*Beach Diving & Inlets
The best locations.
In this section, we cover some favorite non-boat dives in beach and inlet diving.
While these may not be a popular as many of the wreck dives off our coasts, they each have an interesting history and are inexpensive dives to make...provided you want to make the effort to carry gear down rocks or beaches to reach them and they do require a certain navigational skill to find them.

Location description: There are over 500 sites in our wreck book, plus hundreds more
we haven`t visited. These are just some of the most-requested!
*Stolt Dagali
Tanker
Sunk by collision - Nov. 26, 1964
The ``Stolt`` is generally considered to be one of the top 10 New Jersey wreck dives, maybe even the top one! This tanker was cut in two when she collided with the Israeli Passenger Liner Shalom during a cold evening. Several crew on the Stolt, sleeping at the time at the spot of the collision died. Her bow section was later salvaged and even had a new stern and engine added on, and it was plying the seas until only a few years ago.
*USS Algol
Victory Ship / Freighter
Sunk as artificial reef. Nov 22, 1991
The Algol now provides underwater marine habitat for all manner of local sealife, and is one of our most requested dive sites. There is lots of structure and things to see on this fully intact and upright ship. Most divers can find a lot to see and do along her main decks at 100ft, or her bridge superstructure at 80 to 100 ft.
*Pinta
Freighter
Sunk by collision, May 7, 1963
This small 500 ton freighter had the misfortune to meet up with a ship over 12 times her size, the SS City of Perth, with the obvious results. The Pinta sank very quickly, but rescuers were on-scene so quickly that no one was lost, except the ship and her cargo of bulkhead lumber.
The wreck is another of New Jersey`s top dive sites and is fully intact on her port side, although decaying very badly. She is a great visual dive, and since she is only 194 ft long, divers can easily swim her length at a reasonably shallow depth of 60 feet, though the clay bottom is at 90 feet. Lobster hidaways abound in her cargo area, but watch for ever-shifting wood cargo and sharp rusting steel wreckage. Lobster can be found all over, even burrowing into the clay bottom around the wreck.
*Arundo
Freighter
Sunk due to enemy action April 28, 1942
Depth: 140ft, although parts of the wreck rise up 40 feet off the sand, and large sections of the wreck can be dived at 100 to 110ft. Visibility is usually 20-30ft. This wreck is in the Mud Hole and often fished
*Tolten
Freighter
Sunk due to enemy action, March 14, 1942
The wreck is still somewhat intact, though it has been wire-dragged to a safe navigation depth. The stern is by far the most recognizable piece, and easy to penetrate. Looking carefully at her bow you can see one of her remaining anchors still in the hawse pipe. This is great big-lobster dive site. Scallops can sometimes be found out in the sand as well. Lots and lots of fishlife. A very pretty dive.
...and many more!
