Re: Remember the rules...
You don't need four hundred feet of line out we don't sand anchor rode is not the issue. First and foremost have someone on the boat while you are under water, they need to hopefully be able to run the boat at the very least use the radio. Use a reel, watch the weather closely in a boat that small in the hour your underwater things can change quite a bit. Carry a surface marker in the event you get in trouble. Jersey is not south Florida. I'd suggest you try and go out on a local boat and get a handle on how it's done. Go out on a dive boat pick the brains of the mates and Captains. Then give some thought to using your boat. We used to dive inshore off my 20 ft. boat all the time and we had a ball, but I was already past the learning curve. Capt. Bill
