02/05/2008 Jim Homan (Avg: 2.85 Review) - This is a wonderful site, provided you are ready to enter the water precisely at high slack tide. During the late summer and early fall, divers can find juvenile tropicals that have ridden the Gulf Stream up the East Coast and found shelter in shallow water before gaining size and strength to head back south. Boat traffic sometimes can be a concern, so a dive flag on a float is an absolute must. Although the dive is shallow -- about 35 feet max. -- bottom time is limited to the slack tide. As soon as the tide starts moving out, it is time to exit the water or you may find yourself swept out the Manesquan Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean, a little less than a mile downstream.
12/26/2007 Ray Clark (Avg: 3.15 Review) - Diving at this site now requires a permit good for one year. Call 732-506-9090 ext.5955 and have them mail or fax you the request, fill out and return. You must then call them again before each dive.
07/28/2004 Ray Clark (Avg: 3.31 Review) - Easy entry and to avoid the silt out caused by the hoards of students, let the current take you under the bridge and explore the brick pile along the RR causeway. Stay away from the marina; it's shallow and nothing to see. On the right side of the park you will now find a port-a-john.
