Chesapeake Bay Oyster and Wreck Dives!!

Chesapeake Bay Oyster and Wreck Dives

Starting in October, we will be moving our Ocean City Dive Boat into the bay to offer oyster and wreck dives!  We are really excited to be able to offer this opportunity to take advantage of some really cool local diving.

 

Diving for oysters is an extremely fun and interesting dive activity.  Scattered throughout the bay there are oyster beds - basically a muddy bottom with clusters of oysters scattered around.  Generally these spots are very shallow (less than 20 feet).  The oysters in the bay are delicious, and you can't get fresher oysters than diving for them and then eating them the same day!  Each diver is allowed to take a bushel of oysters per day, so you will have plenty to share with your family and friends and they will be very impressed with all the oysters you find!

 

We will also be offering wreck dives in the Bay.  There are over 400 known wrecks (and probably lots of unknown wrecks, too).  Many of these wrecks have never been dove, and just about none of them are dove regularly.  Many of them still have artifacts and cargo that you can find- plates, cups, bottles, etc.

 

Spaces on all charters are limited- sign up today!!

Off Florida, a cemetery under the sea

From the LA Times -

Reporting Off Key Biscayne, Fla. - With a spray of water, Guy Gleichmann surfaces from a 40-foot dive during which he helped set his mother's remains in their final resting place: a sunken city where brightly hued fish shimmy among fantastical architecture.
"I didn't want to leave," Gleichmann says, doffing mask and mouthpiece. "It's so beautiful down there. It's so serene." The 48-year-old investment manager and diver from Pompano Beach, Fla., wanted a unique and accessible spot for his mother, Emma, who died in December at age 75. So he had her cremated remains mixed into concrete in the shape of a seashell, which was placed near the statue of a lion.
