Blue Crew Divers had so much fun with us last weekend that they decided to all skip work and spend a beautiful Friday morning anchored up with us over the Mohawk. Flat calm conditions and 25’ of viz. It’s going to be a good summer.

We got one day of diving in this weekend at least. We hosted Blue Crew Divers for their first trip on the Indy II. We introduced them to the Stolt. Water is still a little brisk!

We still have some seats available for this Sunday June 7th open. We are heading up to the San Diego which we do not get to often. Don't miss your chance. Contact Capt Dan 732 232 7878 to book your spot.

Two for two? In May?? A beautiful morning on the Algol to cap off a full weekend of diving. Conditions were similar to yesterday, but down on the deck and into the light store visibility opened up to a deep blue 50+ feet. Next weekend we have open boat trips to the rarely hit Relief Ship and the always popular Arundo with spots filling fast; call Captain Dan to get on the list.

Better late than never. We finally kicked off the season with an open boat trip to the Stolt. Flat calm seas and Caribbean blue surface water that didn’t quite have Caribbean temperature or visibility underneath. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed two good dives before we beat the winds home. Back at it tomorrow.

One step closer, back at Clark’s !

Only 2 more weeks until the first charters of the season to kick off the 2026 season! The boat goes into the water this week, and then USCG in water inspection next week and then we are ready to go!

Today we traded our drysuits for all-denim coveralls and made sure that when we hit the water in a few weeks we’re still the fastest dive charter out of Manasquan inlet. Just a few more items to knock off Joe’s checklist and we’re ready to go for the 2026 season.

Today was supposed to be our annual crew meeting, but Joe says it isn't safe to leave his house. That doesn't mean YOU can't start to pick your dates for the 2026 season. Most of the charterers have their trips up on their respective websites and filling fast, and for the open boats Captain Dan is lonely and waiting by his phone to hear from you.

JUNE CHARTERS

7 AM Departure
2 Tank Dive
VISCAYA
The Viscaya (a.k.a. The Spanish Wreck) is a big wreck in 85 feet of water and boasts a huge steam engine and set of boilers. Frames and hull plates spread out all over and make for great hunting areas and site-seeing. Many artifacts have come up from this wreck over the years - including gold coins and some interesting jewelry!




JULY CHARTERS

SUNDAY JULY 12th
7 AM Departure
2 Tank Dive
STOLT
The wreck of the Stolt is very impressive, even though now greatly broken-up. Visibility is usually good at this wreck at 130 feet. There is a large debris field around the wreck. The propeller lies half-buried in the sand, while the broken-off rudder lies nearby.


TUESDAY JULY 14th
6 PM Departure
1 Tank NIGHT Dive
THE D***S
The D***s is a partially intact wreck at her stern. The rest is open and easy to navigate. Her rudder lies just to one side. At 65 feet, she offers great exploration and sea life. She's long, too - over 300 feet!


SATURDAY JULY 25th
7 AM Departure
2 Tank Dive
GULFTRADE
The Gulftrade lies at about 90 feet or less with some spots with elevation.She was torpedoed by U-Boats. A large picturesque wreck, so bring your wreck reels! Any artifacts would potentially be found in the debris pile.


TUESDAY JULY 28th
8 AM Departure
2 Tank Dive
MOHAWK
Sunk after a collision with the Talisman in 1935, the Mohawk is a great wreck to explore. An ocean liner nearly 400 feet long and in 75 feet of water, you'll rarely see the entire wreck in a single dive. She is known as an artifact hunters wreck. China, shipboard items, and cargo have been recovered over the decades. Visibility varies, so line reels are a must-have. Keep one in your pocket or collection bag. Bring a dive light, too.




AUGUST CHARTERS

TUESDAY AUGUST 11st
6 PM Departure
1 Tank NIGHT Dive
CADET
The Cadet, identified as the John H. Winstead which sank in 1927, is at 80 feet. Good for fish and lobsters - and the occasional artifact - it is big; wide and about 240 feet long. The vessel was carrying coal when she sank.

ARUNDO
The Arundo wreck off New Jersey is a popular WWII shipwreck dive site, a 412-foot Dutch freighter torpedoed by U-136 in 1942, now a debris field with intact cargo like trucks, locomotives, beer bottles, and oil, lying in 130-140 feet of water, known for its interesting marine life and challenging but rewarding conditions for experienced divers.

The Algol started her career in WWII and ended in more modern times. At around 450 feet in length, she offers divers a great opportunity to tour a large, deep wreck that is virtually intact. Depths to 140 but she starts at 70 feet. A great dive for all levels of offshore divers.
