Comment by Jonathan Edwardsen on Wednesday: Hey guys, we got three spaces left on a charter for the Radford on June 4th out of Indian River, DE. We are planning on double dipping the site. This charter is open to anyone certified at the Tech 1 level or equivalent. The weather is looking great for Monday the 4th so anyone interested give Tanya a call at Submerged (301.881.2831) to sign up. The charter costs $150 per person. Myself, Tanya, and Justin are on the charter so come join the fun and a great day of diving!

Sorry about the prior blank comment. Stupid confusing internet

Comment by Jonathan Edwardsen on May 24, 2012 at 6:40am: Hey Adam,

I know Bonnichsen needs a teammate for June 3 so I would check with him. He might finish his Essentials of Tech that day...

Comment by Christopher Neidhart on April 30, 2012 at 2:13am: Team Submerged-

Just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know what a great dive we had on Saturday. With seas under 3 feet, minimal surge, temperature in the 50’s, and visibility pushing 25,’ conditions were not the Atlantic I was expecting. I arrived at the dock bright and early and was helped aboard the spacious vessel by our great crew. We had six divers in technical gear and were not hurting for space. After the catching up with everybody on the way out, we arrived at the Radford ready to go. The vessel itself was massive and we didn’t even come close to covering the piece that we tied up to. I can’t wait to go back and explore further. Her spacious superstructure could be easily explored without getting too technical while the deeper holds promise to be exciting for long penetration dives. Ascent was easy with minimal current well and getting back on the boat was no problem either. I had a blast and can’t wait to make my way back out there; I feel like a fool for not knowing all this time that we had such rewarding dive sites so close to home. See you guys at the shop!

Comment by Jonathan Edwardsen on March 7, 2012 at 3:57pm: Hey guys & gals,

Submerged is hosting a guest speaker, Dave Howe, of IMH. He is giving a lecture on the wrecks of the Chesapeake Bay on March 18th at 1pm. Dave is going to discuss on going research that IMH is conducting in the bay and some other projects he is planning for the next two or three years around the world. The event is getting a large response so we need an RSVP if you plan on attending. We are limiting the number of guests to 30 people so if you would like a spot send us an email. This event is free and open to all members of the UTD Mid-Atlantic Chapter and Team Submerged. We will be opening up this event to the public on March 11th.

Come by and find out what diving is really in your backyard... trust me, you have no idea how many wrecks really are in the Chesapeake... Dave is also looking for some divers for some of his projects so this would be a great time to talk to Dave about the opportunities he has available.

Cheers,
