I would be interested. The AM tide I found for that date is 7:57 though. I usually go with the tide for the Coast Guard station rather then the inlet.

I am not a resident there so I can not park on the south side. If that is the side you want to dive then we will need to meet on the north side where I am allowed to park.

I have a sticker, if you want we can meet at my place, load up and go from there. My pickup is plenty big enough for everything.

Hey Rich,
so far its looking good weather wise for sat. Let me know where you want to meet and we can go from there. I usually allow about an hour from my house then a half hour or so for set up and checks, i do take my time, always get there early and go a bit slow so i don’t miss anything. I’ll be diving wet for this one.

Ponquogue Bridge, NY. Dove with Rich Keller. Vis was the best i’ve seen in a long time 20-25 ft. Lots of stuff to see. Sea stars, Fluke, Spider crabs, Small Stripped Bass. Lots of lures lol . Dive lasted 34 minutes which is about all you get there before the tide flips. Recommend this dive if you can do it, its an easy dive, just be aware of the tides and moon phases. Heres a link to the bridge tide the local dive shops use.

Dove Ponquogue Bridge Yesterday morning. We did the north side this time. Joined by Hal, George and Jeff. Vis was poor probably due to the surf being so rough the day before. Got in a 30 minute dive then played in the shallows and did some basic navigation. More room on this side to play as the tide has little effect in the shallow end of the NE side of the lot. Hal did find some treasure on this trip. It was a nice score. An almost new fishing reel lol.
