Rehobeth Beach, DE

A friend will be going to Rehobeth Beach soon and is interested in doing
some diving while there. I have looked on the Web and can't find any
shops in the area. We generally do our diving in northern NJ and NY so
temperature etc. is not a concern.

Does anyone know of a dive operation in this area?

TIA

There is diving from Indian River Inlet and from Ocean City, MD. Here's
one in Indian River: http://www.surfaceinterval.net/ I don't know them;
the boat I've used from IR is no longer in operation. Google will help
find more ops in these places.

The diving I did there is typical northeast diving - cold water, shitty
vis, boat tied to wreck with no chase boat. Bring your big Dan Crowell
reel, you'll need it to find your way back to the anchor line.

Amen. My only Atlantic dive was similar--had my first seasickness
experience on a wreck dive of the USS Advance somewhere on the east
coast (on second thought, I wonder if this was in the Carolinas?).
But, saw the biggest and only Manta Ray I've ever seen on that 2nd
dive, so it was worth it.

Check out the Surface Interval. As of last year, there were no dive
shops in the area, but there might be one down in Ocean City (about 30
miles south of Indian River Inlet). There seems to be more diving in
the OC area, but I'm not sure who is operating this year. Dive boats in
this area mostly operate independently of dive shops so the bottom line
is you need all your own gear including filled tanks, weights and water.

March is early in the season. The Surface Interval has nothing
scheduled until May 1.

The Surface Interval (dive boat) is located right there at Indian River.
Great Crew, Great Boat. Good Diving if you like Mid-Atlantic diving.
