Alll,
Anyone have info if diving @ Maclearie park is still a viable option with all the insanity going on lately? Looked @ Belmar’s website and it states that parks are still open...

Thanks!
Steve

Sorry for the late report. Did make it out; park was open. Unfortunately the ambient temp was 34F, and the water temp not much warmer. Not a big deal with a drysuit; but the winds were 15g25kts out of the north and viz was less than 18 inches.

Will do a better job at predicting the weather next time; as it does look like a promising spot.

Steve, Were the seahorses wearing blankets?

Uncertain. When my head hit the sea floor due to the poor viz, I could hear them chuckling at me; but was unable to tell if they were cloaked or not.

I went there yesterday for the first time. Water was 50 degrees. Visibility was only a few feet.
