- 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.

beautiful dive, thank you for not ruining the footage with ridiculous music
Thx for sharing.
That is my fluke ball jig and gulp @10:10 ! 😅 Nice video, Gents. Cannot believe the clarity of the water!
I don’t understand how almost 17,000 views and there’s only 250 likes. Like the video people. This is awesome and it helps the algorithm.
BIG TAUTOG !!! Hiding in the reef at 11.46 bottom of the screen. Loved the video!
Wow that looked like a 20"+

thank you for sharing its been a long time since I've gone diving in wreck Vally,m maybe ill see you guys out there this year
Awesome video. It is great to see a wreck and such active sea life at the Jersey shore.
At 2:22 lower right those are my jigs i lost, can you grab them? LMAO Thanks for the video, nice to see what we fish on
This video is awesome, and thanks for sharing.
You see the extra pony bottles. That’s Jersey diving!
Wow, that was great
Man that wreck is covered up in dogs and baby black seabass. Theyre inquisitive lil sob's arent they? Swimming right up into you, checking you out. Couple tog here and there, a conger(?) In the beginning. Do you know what those lovely black/yellow tropicals are @5:00 ?
spotfin butterflyfish, one of the most common colorful tropical strays
I'm amazed there's tropical fish off the NJ coast
plenty of them show up as juveniles in the summer, lot of videos on them if you look up tropical stray fish
How come you didn't show your catch? The dive.
Looked awesome would have been nice to see what you got
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.
Gotcha. Again fantastic video and that's a great way to go about your dives. Glad to have come across your video!
I think I saw you when I fish
Awesome to see a cinder block 20 miles off shore ....SMH !!!
The body attached to it and the accompanying rope has drifted away.
What are the large schools of fish swimming by? They look bigger than bunker.
Is that an American eel? I was surf fishing the other night and something like that swam past me
what species were the schooling fish @3:07
@travelingwithelliot8001 absolutely not. They're thin, long, and have stripes. Bunker are none of those things. They look like green bonito although theyre moving hella slow.
Nice video, fall diving of nj is the best!
They looked like a small tuna or mackerel but I don't know honestly.
@@jeremyquinn4426 I thought tuna also
Angel fish in NJ ?

@ That’s crazy ! I just got back from the Philippines and they could be fish you would see there.
The Capt should learn how to anchor and not hook and destroy what's left of the wreck.
Really
@@americanazheck Yes really, what don't you understand about damaging the wreck. A good Captain anchors ahead without causing damage, but what does my 65 years experience know.
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
@@jamesps7515 dogfish are sharks but I agree they're wimpy. Just like a Chihuahua is still a dog.
They have been hitting top water plugs too!!! 😂😂😂
Pretty bright blue spots and wicked spines behind their dorsal fins. ...and they have teeth enough to rip up lines and fingers.
A dogfish is clearly a shark my man
