This Week
Wednesday the 26th – Benson/Brass Spike – Atlantic Divers The Benson was an old sailing ship from which brass and dead eyes have been recovered in the past, however it is currently best known as a scallop wreck. It will be interesting to see what the storm may have uncovered. The Brass Spike wreck has always lived up to it’s name and if you get in the right spot will produce lots of spikes. Gene can be reached at Atlantic Divers 609-641-7722 When I last checked he still had a spot available.
Thursday the 27th – OPEN – Lobsters/Fish Yet another new/old group has me on Thursday. Actually these are a couple of divers from an old Philadelphia area club that no longer charters boats and they’d like to get back out and look for fish and lobsters. If you’re interested, particularly if you’re comfortable doing “buoy dives” give me a call as we could use a few more to make these trips.
Saturday the 29th – Tridents – Lobsters/Fish And they’re back – This will be the north Atlantic Tridents first dive of the season. As always we’ll tie in for one (possibly two as this is the first dive of the season) and spend the rest of the day doing “buoy dives” In that I’ve mentioned it twice I suppose I should explain the term “buoy dives” These are done on small to very small wrecks/rock piles where once I’ve spotted the location I’ll drop a weighted line with a buoy on it. Come around make a pass on the buoy and drop three to four divers. At this point the divers descend the line without touching it; if they pulled on it they’d move it off the spot. They then have a maximum of fifteen minutes to find as many fish or lobsters as they can and then do a free ascent. I’ll then come back in and pick up the individual divers. As you can tell this is not for the new or inexperienced diver as a matter of fact this isn’t for many experienced divers. Bret can be reached at 973-876-5896 DIVE IS FULL

NOTE: One thing to keep in mind is that OPEN destinations are really just suggestions on my part, unless the trip is scheduled as a “Special” but If you have somewhere you want to get to let me know and if we have the divers and the weather that’s where we’ll head.
ATTENTION
We have established a diver’s e-mail list, this is where I publish "Trip Reports" and you'll see what's coming up first. If you’d like to be included send the message “please add me to the SEA LION diver list” to sealion@atlantic-wreckdivers.com
