We'll meet near the pier for an easy walk through the sand and a swim to the reef. The Park Reef never fails to please with its rich diversity of texture and marine life.
The Famous Erojacks are a bit of a walk down the beach but well worth the effort. Built as an erosion control experiment many years ago, the structure is now an artificial reef teaming with fish, lobster, coral, and sponges. This is a great site for photography and fish identification. No spearing is allowed because we are departing from the park where such hunting is prohibited.
Please be prepared to gear up and head for the water no less than 20-30 minutes after the posted meetup time. Parking is plentiful at $2 per hour (cash or credit); restrooms and freshwater showers are located on site.
Dive specifics include a 45-60 minute bottom time at depths from 16-26'. In good conditions, this dive is appropriate for divers needing to build their experience and a joy for those who are advanced. Be prepared to carry your gear 200 yards, if you want to dive the jacks or just 100 yards to the Park Reef entry point.
RENTAL GEAR is available with sufficient notice (not later than 2hrs before event time). We can bring to the site BCD, tank, regulator, and weights, if you let us know what size and how much. Air tanks, $10; BCD’s, $15, regulator set, $15; and weights (any amt), $5. To ensure your gear order, please submit payment via Venmo (tom-carpenter-8), PayPal (tcarpenterjr@gmail.com), and CashApp ($beachdiver).
