New Jersey Scuba Diving

Benson

Type:
shipwreck, probably a barge
Depth:
120 ft

A sailing ship or small steamship in 120 feet of water. Sandy bottom, but given to silty conditions. Like the Deep Dry Dock, she has been dragged apart, mowed down, and pulled apart. She has some nice bronze parts strewn about.

It had been a good lobster and scallop dive. It is not too often dived anymore, probably due to her shrinking condition and depth

Going Deeper - "Tech"

If Nitrox will not take you deeper than air, what will? I touched on a couple of possibilities previously - Trimix and Heliox, but I did not explain what they are, or how they work. I'm not a "Tech" diver; I'm not interested in going deep enough to actually need such gas mixes, and I've never taken a formal class in such things. But I do have an engineering degree, curiosity, and half a brain.
