Every blog has to start with a first post.  Let me use this opportunity to tell you what this blog is going to be about.

I've been diving for about 25 years.  Living in New Jersey, we have one of the worlds largest swimming pools along the eastern border of our state.  If you believe that "In 1492, Columbus sailed the blue....," then you can believe that boats and ships have been working their way up and down our coast for over 500 years.

For that same amount of time, many boats and ships have sunk in storms and collisions.  Our wonderful coastline is also home to hundreds of reefs, some natural and some man-made.  Reefs attract fish and the New Jersey coast is teeming with fish life.

I am just one of many.  That is, the many divers that enjoy visiting and exploring the hundreds of shipwrecks and reefs of the NJ waters.  Some divers go to spearfish.  Some enjoy photography.  Some just like to look.  I like harvesting lobsters.  We all have one thing in common:  our love of the ocean.

So I plan to fill this blog with information that will hopefully appeal to other scuba divers.  Dive reports,  reviews of dive equipment, random thoughts related to the ocean, ocean conservation, ocean life.  If you've got a good fish story to share, feel free to add your comments as well.
