  • On Saturday, October 30, 1890, the schooner Cornelius Hargraves sank approximately 6.5 miles off the coast of Barnegat, NJ, following a collision with the steamer Vizcaya. The wreck now lies at a depth of 80 feet (24 meters).
    We completed two dives on the wreck, with an unusually good visibility estimated at 50-60 feet (15-18 meters). The water temperature was a comfortable 60°F (16°C). Schools of fish, eels, lobsters, and a group of dogfish sharks surrounded us throughout both dives, making for an unforgettable underwater experience.

      I only take photos. I don't catch fish/lobsters on the dives I do but If I do see something I will try to let others know. That being said, no lobsters or fish were caught on that dive by anyone.

    No sharks those are spiny dogfish and they’re all over the coast of Nj right now. Seabass fishing has been tough because of it. But great video and nice to see how clear the water is getting the past few years
