Great to see everyone at The Scuba Flea Market

I really enjoyed getting out to the Scuba Flea Market to socialize with fellow divers and start to plan for the 2013 dive season.  In talking to so many divers today, it seems that the general consensus is that this summer should be great for wreck diving since the Hurricane most likely uncovered lots of wreckage.  I generally do not start diving until May because it is not quite warm enough for me but, this year I may try to get out early with hopes of finding the newly uncovered artifacts.

I am already planning on hitting the Tolten, Resor, Arundo, Gulftrade, Pinta, Durley Chine, Somerstadt, N. Lilian and hopefully some southern favorites like the Varanger, N. Pacific, and Offshore Paddlewheeler.  In recent years I have not been spending a lot of time digging for artifacts since I have been devoted to photography but, I am realizing that I will never find that dead eye unless I take the time to search for it.  Therefore, this year I will have to spend more time digging.  Time to break out the scooter!

I have to say what drove me to the flea market today was to pick up a copy of Brandon's new poster of NJ Wrecks since he was so gracious to put the picture of me descending onto the Durley Chine in it.  I think the poster is a great idea to promote NJ Wreck Diving.

Everyone has different goals and ambitions in terms of diving but, the passion of wreck diving itself bonds us all together and it was so nice to share part of today with those divers that share the passion.
