From Ianrhg: PS: I hear rumors NJ has some peculiar rules such as extra reserve tanks. Any idea where I may read up in this type of thing in order to better ready myself should the issue pop up?

Yes, if you are doing a boat dive offshore most boats/clubs will require a pony bottle or independant doubles, the deeper the wreck the bigger the pony. Any NJ LDS will rent you those.

The other rule you need to watch for on shore dives is in Shark River inlet, because of summer boat traffic all dives are dusk to dawn. Maclearie Park is not in the inlet but you are just up river from a boat ramp at L Street so you need to watch for boat traffic.

I’ll be diving the park tonight entering around 5pm. I’ll bring my extra weights in case you show up, are fins one of the things you would be renting because I have a pair you can have.
