I doubt this is a good place to dive. Even without the river pollution, the bottom is muddy and the water is full of silt. If anyone knows anything different, let me know.

The "Pet Wreck" appears to be the remains of a wooden barge sunk in 60' of water 6 miles off Atlantic City. Partially intact but low lying, the wreck is good for both lobster and spearfishing. Look for lobster hiding under the large winch still in place on the forward section of the wreck.
