Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Are there any divers on these boards??

You need to find a local dive shop in your area to take lessons.

There is a whole ocean off our coast that is a great place to dive. Where are you located? I am hoping to do a dive at Shark River in Belmar in a couple weeks. Last check the water there was 42F so just need it to come up a few more degrees. May 1 I'll be heading out to Bainbridge, PA for the first quarry dive of the year and May 22 is the first scheduled wreck dive.

local shop !! are you kidding me? I am in Somerville, NJ where all shallow river lead to ocean
the only place RIGHT NOW that I can swim and dive is Bound Brook and those area that flood near by me )). Sorry I just make a joke that might not be funny for those folks in these flooding zone. Please ignore me.

Steve, I am dying to get wet. I haven't been in the water since November 29, 2009, I think I'm starting to dry out. By June/July I am hoping to have about a 1/2 dozen dives in. Bainbridge is a limestone dive quarry, similar to Dutch but smaller,http://www.divebsc.com/. I'll be doing the first 2 of my 8 check out dives for my AOW.
Yeah I was at BTS on Saturday too. Got there around 10ish and left around 2. Then had lunch at Outback before heading home.
HAHAHA I got there around 2 and stayed until 5 until going over to Bazooka's with a bunch of people from The Dive Shop to have some drinks...got home around Midnight.
And I hear you!! I haven't been diving since around then either!! I can't wait to get in the water!! 8 Dives?? I only had to do 5...weird.

The AOW is also an intro to wreck course custom designed by the owner of Atlantic Divers and approved by NAUI that's the reason for the extra dives. It's actually 8 objectives, some can be done in the same dive but he likes to break each one down into it's own dive. Which is fine by me as it means more time in the water.
I ended up getting 2 sets of HP120's instead of the 100's.

I did my first trip this past Saturday on the Dina Dee and have 3 more scheduled with them and 1 on the Sea Lion.

Thanks Matt!! You sure know how to make a man jealous HAHAHA ;D
I can't wait to get in the water!! 47-degrees at 90 is not that bad...by the time my first dive comes around in July it should be much warmer though!!
I'm going to try to get up to Dutch too just to dive somewhere!!
Did you end up chartering the boat for your son's graduation?

By July it may be in the mid 50's.
No, I wasn't able to charter the boat for his graduation.
