The best place to dive in the Manasquan River is the Railroad Bridge at Gull Island Park, which is set up specifically for divers. (The west half, the east half is for fishermen) This location is used heavily for training dives, but if you can avoid the crowds it can be a very interesting spot, with a wide variety of marine life. Powerful tidal currents will limit your dive time, but otherwise there are no time restrictions, unlike the inlet. Have to dive during slack high tide time. Its an easy dive but sometimes the current is strong so watch the tide tables. You might find something, but odds are you wont.

To get away from the students and find clearer water go west under the bridge which means the tide will need to be almost slack, watch out for fishing lines coming down from the bridge! Then work north along the railroad causeway, I usually go north shallow and then return deeper. The bricks are from the old bridge and were made in Bricktown :) Do not go under the marina or wander into the north channel.

There is a Port-o-John in the parking lot, one picnic table that is usually grabbed by some instructor for his class but plenty of grass to set up on. A 7-11 across the street for snacks but if you want a sit down meal, Spikes next door has been voted one of the best seafood dives (not that kind of dive) on the Jersey shore. There is a bait shop at the other end of Channel Drive that does air fills
