I’m game and I have an extra light or two if anyone needs a loaner.

I’m planning on making this too.

Might take me a bit too get there as I work this Saturday, but will bring the gear with me and head straight down after work.

Great - meet in the parking lot at Maclearie Park...

know the spot, Ray and I have dove there a few times before.

Mike it won’t be any darker on the bottom and the lights will make it easier to find one another :)

Just hoping my camera cooperates this time around.

Carl,
Wish I could go. We’ll get out one of these days.
Tied up for the next few weeks.
I hope the vis gets better.

All good - next time. Should be a few folks out there from scubaboard as well to meet and greet.

Turns out we had a group of 11 divers from all over. Several from Scubaboard and DiveBuddy came out for the meet and greet at Maclearie Park - some first timers to the back bay and several veterans. We split into pairs and had a solo diver - everyone got to see a few seahorses, eels, horseshoe crabs, rock crabs, fluke (summer flounder), cornet or trumpet fish (I always get the name wrong), and lots more - some to be identified later.
Seemed like everyone had an hour or longer on the dive - I had an average 6.7 feet with a 12 foot maximum, temperature was 65 degree minimum but generally warmer at 6 to 8 feet. No one got lost - a really easy dive to see some excellent critters and have a laugh or two. Everyone seemed to be willing to do this again - so we can rally again in the near future - tide permitting. I will try to post some video later if it comes out ok...
Good job to all that came out and if you are lurking and want an easy dive with seahorses - come on out next time... :-)

Here is the best I could get from the footage - I had to mount the GoPro to my dive light which was too bright but I was pulling the dive flag, looking for critters and helping a new Dive Buddy with Maclearie Park...
All in all a good dive and a few laughs along the way...

I was there Saturday night - great dive and nice to meet some more dive buddies. Thanks SaltyDog for the dive. I found an Aqualung Surelock weight pouch in the water if anyone lost one or knows of someone who did. Had to kick the blue claw crab off of it - he was up on his hind flippers scratching his back on it. Also had a little fun carrying all the extra weight!

Kevin,
I lost a Surelock last weekend ( PT Pleasant RR Bridge). If no one claims it I would buy it from you.
Glade to hear that the Vis improved.
