Long Island here - we are still part of new york aren't we? :-)

Of course you are, just not the cool part of NY. Welcome aboard. I am often in Garden City, and usually stop in ScubaNetwork when I'm around there.

Hey, Albany area diver here.

When/where is everyone diving next?

I have never actually been to the ScubaNetwork store there, only the one in FL. I assume they have great prices?

Where do you guys dive? Or is it basically dutch springs?

I live and work in Westchester County, but I dive in NJ because I have a buddy with a boat there. We go out from Barnegat bay. We dived the Stolt yesterday, which was my second time on that wreck in the past month. It's a really great dive. It's a 2-hour drive for me, but since my friend has the boat and lives there, and since a third friend comes up an equivalent distance from Newark, DE to dive with us, I've never done any diving in the more local NY/CT area. Besides, the roads are always clear and fast when I start out at 5:30AM on a Sat. or Sun. morning!

I get my rental tanks and some of my gear from Scuba New York on Central Ave. in Yonkers, which is also where I did my classroom and pool work for my OW and AOW c cards.

Another NY'er here, although I haven't dived in NY yet. Mostly Dutch Springs and Caribbean diving for me, although I did my first Jersey wreck dive last weekend.
