Welcome to NJScuba.net, a website dedicated to exploring the New Jersey / New York region underwater -- "Wreck Valley". Here you will find information on dive sites, marine biology, artifacts and activities, gear and training, and many other subjects.

The menu changes depending on where you are. The search works very well - try it. The 'Random' link can take you anywhere. Pick a subject, and dive in !!!

You can easily get involved too - comments are open on all dive sites. Leave your trip reports and updates right there in the website. If you have something more you'd like to add, you can get in touch with me through the contact page.

Alpha-Numeric Signal Flags

In this modern age of radio, these signal flags are a quaint anachronism that is no longer used, although they were once very important in ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship communications. Each flag stands for both a letter value and a shorthand message. The letters are expressed here in the modern international phonetic alphabet, in which A-B-C would be spoken Alpha-Bravo-Charlie (see below).
