Vacationers

I'm from [ Ohio, Florida, Michigan, California, Spain, Brazil, etc ] and will be vacationing in New Jersey and would like to go diving ...

I get this inquiry all the time. Diving here, compared to most vacation destinations, is cold, dark, deep, strenuous, and difficult. Chances are, if you already own all the cold water gear, and dive with it where you live, then you will be ok here. I'm talking about folks from Canada, New England, the UK, and Scandinavia, and similar places where cold-water ocean diving is practiced. On the other hand, doing a few cold-water dives in a quarry in Ohio ( or wherever ) is in no way qualification for the North Atlantic.
