CONDITIONS:

Black Banks is located on the north side of Reynolds Channel just east of the Wantagh Pkwy, Bridge. Although only accessible by boat this is one of the best inshore dives in the area. When timed correctly so that divers are in the water at high slack it's not uncommon to have over 20' visibility. There are several small wrecks, which are attached by a steel cable, for easy navigation. This is a great spot for spear fishing. Schools of large blackfish can be found not only along the steep clay walls but also around each wreck. Due to a very strong current, divers should note that diving here should only be done during slack water. Of course, high slack, which is usually about two hours after Jones Inlet provides the best chance of enhanced visibility.
