The dive boats out of Shark River were out in force Saturday as we were joined by the Sea Horse. We both decided to head North and while the Sea Horse decided to hit the wrecks in the 60 ft range we went slightly deeper at 80 ft. Our first stop was a low lying wood wreck off Sea Bright/ Sandy Hook area. The bottom temp was about 40 and the surface slightly cooler. Vis was a low 5 to 10. Some fish and lobster were spotted under the wreckage and a few finds came up.
After the first dive wefound out the Sea Horse had slightly worse vis than us and as the vis at our site was not good both boats headed offshore a bit.
Our next stop was a metal and wood site in about 90ft where the vis was 10 to 15 . A few more lobster were spotted and several keeper (not big)tog came up.
It was a beautiful winter day on the water and under the water. Hopefully we will get a few more weekends of good weather. I already have planned to miss diving the weekend of the 15th so I can attend the scuba flea market. See you there.
