Currently
Corson's Inlet is considered closed to navigation, although you
get an
occasional boater attempting to traverse the
area.
The area is
well known for recovering bottles and is considered the premier
bottle
dive of south Jersey. Bottles are easily
recovered and many times are above the
sand. After a
quick survey of the area if you don't locate any bottles on top
of the sand, just pick an area and start fanning. At times
divers will find bottles in piles,
but sometimes
you have to move frequently and dig to find anything. According
to diver Dave Keller, bottles recovered here date back from the
mid 1800's to the
prohibition
era. Divers have also recovered jewelry, coins, china, and
silverware at the site.
The marine
life at the site is abundant and includes lobsters, crabs,
flounder,
skates, shrimp, coral, mussels and clams. Depth
ranges from ten to 25 feet with
visibility
between two and 20 feet. The best time to dive this site is
during high
slack and in the winter, spring or fall. Dave
also tells us that the currents and
summer boat
traffic are the area's main hazards.
