Special Considerations
*The Texas Tower is around 65 miles offshore. We will have a 5am leave time and will be back that evening. We go to a restaurant for a celebratory meal after the dive (dutch meal), and we would love for you to join if you can! *We do 1 long dive each day (Your run time is up to you). *The max depth is 180 *Water temp is low to mid 50's Equipment Considerations There are no dive shops near-by that can do gas fills required for this dive. Please have all your fills ready for both days before hand. If you need help getting gear to NJ, renting additional cylinders, or gear, please contact us and we will help! Boat Considerations *There is a marine head on board *Water is provided *Bring lots of snacks and other drinks *There is a cooler on board.
