Great Time Diving in Ocean City


Last week some of the staff of Atlantic Edge had the privilege of going out diving with Captain Jeremiah on the OC Dive Boat. Weather was great, sea conditions were pretty good, and we hit some awesome dive spots.

We first hit the Al Giles Memorial Reef, commonly refered to as 'The Barge'. The Barge is a great spot for spearfishing, as its just a big upside square barge - you don't really need a wreck reel to navigate and its teeming with life. We got some fish for dinner and then headed over to the BI Cutters.

The BI Cutters are a pretty cool wreck site. They aren't entirely 'intact' so you can have a good time exploring and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together to see how they used to come together as a ship. Lots of great life on this site, too.

After that we hit the Pharoby Dragger, sometimes referred to as the 'Dinner Wreck' for its high quantities of good eating fish. There were flounder everywhere and a few big tog swimmming around. We even were lucky enough to catch an angel shark swimming in the sand.

A great day all around!
