Oct 6th 2013 - Axel Carson Reef off NJ - water temps 59 degrees

Oct 6 on the Sea Lion - we dove a small tug boat on the Axle Carson Reef - two single tank dives both were so similar it is not worth noting the small difference in temperature - at 74 feet it was 64 degrees after 5 mins - 60 degrees after 10 mins and 59 degrees for the remainder of both dives.
It was pretty foggy in the morning - looked like it might burn off mid morning and then socked in again around lunch time. The ocean was very quiet - maybe 2 foot swells with very little current at depth. Enjoyable all around - crew were very helpful. Enjoyed the dives - my dive buddy/son was just O/W certified so hope to get in a few more like this one. We will both be practicing our Jersey Rolls prior to the next trip...

Warmer than Dutch Springs -

Glad you enjoyed your dives. The tug we were on was the 75 foot "Four Clubs" formerly the "Megan Sue" It was sunk January 9, 2005 along with another larger tug the 100 foot "MRMTC" formerly the "Bay King" They were originally 180 feet apart but since the little tug is 65 feet off of my mark I need to go back to that spot and check the other location.
Again glad you and your son had fun and I look forward to seeing both of you back aboard
