Just finished a ship in a bottle replica of the RFMS Oregon shipwreck. This is one of my favorite wreck dives. She sits in 130' off Fire Island NY. The bottle is mounted on a pc of shipwreck recovered teak.

The Oregon Shipwreck* New York's Wreck Valley*** pg 1* pg 2* pg 3 (for historical info on the wreck)

Nice work...I wish I knew how to dive. Now at 43 I feel I missed my opportunity.

Diving can be alot of fun. I would not give up on it yet. I started over 30 yrs ago and still going strong. Check out the wrecks we dive up here in NY/NJ
The NY / NJ Shipwreck Chart* New York and New Jersey's (Wreck Valley)

Many are shallow and perfect for beginner or novice divers.

Thanks...part of the challenge is just finding the time. With three little ones it is hard to sneak away. I've always enjoyed reading about the wrecks off of NJ/NY and I remember trying to watch Wreck Valley whenever it was on TV. The cloesest I got was taking a one day introdution class in a YMCA pool...lol. I was down in DR back in February and I found out about two cannons and a anchor in 50 feet of water just off the shoreline. Would have loved to dive it and maybe metal detect in the area.

Some day...
