Shark River - A Street

Shark River - A Street — View of the up-river area, looking southeast. Either side is diveable upstream to the first road. The entry location is just to the right of the apartments.

Yet another place to dive the Shark River is on the south side, near the intersection of 1st Avenue and A Street, behind the apartments. There is limited but very convenient free parking. A small cement stairway leads down to a concrete ledge above the water. Climb down between the big rock and the bulkhead, where you will find more steps underwater. ( Whoever B.M and M.M. are - thank you! )
