River Snail

Goniobasis virginica

Size: to 1"

Habitat: flowing water

Notes: This is one example of the many small snails you may find during a freshwater dive. They are very common in Round Valley Reservoir, which is filled from the Raritan River.

Gassoon

Type:: shipwreck, schooner barge
Depth:: 80 ft

Another schooner barge or sailing ship. Close to shore and very near the Maurice Tracy. It is sometimes a second or third dive because of this. She's in 70 feet of water on a sandy seafloor. Lots of wood walls and some decking, it's been better for spearfishing lately rather than bugs, but that'll depend on when she was last dived. Named after the fishing boat that found the spot.
