WE HAVE MILES AND MILES OF BEACHES BUT ALOT OF DIVES DIVE THE MANY INLET LIKE POINT PLEASENT, BELMAR, AVON, THE RAIL ROAD BRIDGE IN PT PLEASENT THATS WHERE YOU SHOULD START, YOU NEED A TIDE CHART. FLAG,AND YOU ONLY HAVE ONE HOUR OR LESS TO DO THESES DIVES BEFORE THE TIDE TURNS AND TAKE YOU WHERE YOU DONOT WANT TO GO,,BELIEVE ME YOU CANNOT FIGHT THE CURRENT, IF YOU DIVE THE RAILROAD BRIDGE YOU MOST LIKELY WILL FIND OTHER DIVERS OR CLASS BEING GIVEN TO STUDENT THERE.YOU ALLSO HAVE TO GET TO THESE SITES EARLY BECAUSE PARKING IS NOT EASY.

I was in Sea Isle City a while back and remember a shore dive in the area, but I don't know more than seeing a dive flag and an arrow. My recommendation would be to call a dive shop in that area.

Try calling East Coast Diving Supply near Atlantic City at 609-646-5090

Also, Rich Galiano's site, NJScuba.net, is an excellent resource for this type of stuff. Just type in "shore" or "shore diving" in the search box and you should get a good result.

Contact Divers Two in Avon. They do a weekly "Happy Hour" dive during the week. Carol & Lance run a regular schedule of Shore Dives.

www.diverstwo.com Look on the "scuba bulletin board" on the right side of the page. The next one is Aug 3rd at L street.

If you do something with them, please report back.
