The original Wreck Valley book was
published back in 1986. At the time it was not
only the first but the only book for area divers
that detailed local shipwreck history and dive
conditions.

became the most popular of his shipwreck
publications.
Wreck Valley III is a
completely new update, expanded and enhanced
edition of the

legend, present
condition, aquatic life, and pertinent dive

and design to accommodate all of the research
and images collected in 30 years of local
shipwreck diving. The collection of historical
photographs alone would take years of
archive
research to locate and would cost a small
fortune
if purchased separately. Many of these rare
images have never before been published.
Wreck Valley III
includes a GPS list of accurate artificial reef
and shipwreck locations. Divers, fisherman,
marine historians, armchair sailors or anyone
with a general interest in history, diving or

Lobster
Diving
Most local NY and NJ divers enjoy catching these tasty shellfish. Learn how and
where the best lobster hunting can be found.
Shipwrecks have been related to being an oasis in the middle of a
barren desert of sand. Cold-water lobsters or Main Lobsters (Homarus americanus)
make their home in and around northeast shipwrecks. In fact cold-water lobsters
are the main diving attraction of some shipwrecks. These tasty crustations known
to divers, as bugs are delicious, once captured and cooked that is.
Fishing
Find information on deep sea
fishing in NY, NJ, New England as well as fishing gear, bait and tackle, guides
and charter boats. Perhaps no other water sport is as popular as fishing.
Think about it. It does not matter if you sit on the town dock and cast in a
line or head offshore in a multi million dollar yacht. Sport Fishing has
something to offer everyone. Its just a great family activity that offers fun,
adventure and excitement. It is also one of the few sports that you can continue
to improve at even as you mature. Fresh Seafood
Divers may catch the freshest seafood but most still need a good seafood recipe.
