1.877.Scuba USA “Solo Divers” explore wreck site
A group of SDI “Solo Diver” students embarked and successfully completed the first two of four dives to achieve their “Solo” diver certifications. The Many hours of dive planning and skills reinforcement paid off with successful completion of the dives. The group consisting of Steve G, Pawel K, and Joe C, departed from Brielle, NJ aboard the Tuna Seazure for an afternoon of dives. It was a beautiful day and the seas were very accommodating. Water temps were in the low 50’s and visibility was 10 to 20 feet on the bottom. These Divers have been working hard developing the skills required to successfully plan and execute solo dives. Congrats...you're ½ way there! Kelley S. and Andrew S. joined us on the dive for moral support and to enjoy a day of diving in the Atlantic ocean for themselves. Check out the “Meet Up” calendar for future Atlantic ocean boat dives and come on out and join us!
