Contact Tom Jacobs by Friday, December 4, to confirm interest!

Where and When:

Meet at the boat ramp/parking lot below the Route 4, Johnson Bridge (on the Solomons side of the Patuxent river), at 9:30 am and plan to dive around 10:30 am (we need to complete the dive by high Noon).

What to Bring:

• One tank. A single shallow dive in the Patuxent River provides plenty of air and bottom time for most divers.

• A goodie bag for gathering oysters or other benthic treats.

• A wetsuit or drysuit that will keep you comfortable in ~50⁰F water. Air temps could be in the mid to upper 40s. We will have a pop-up tent and heater for transitioning to/from the dive.  

• A dive float/flag.

• EXTRA WEIGHT! We are diving in shallow water (brackish, 10-20 ft). It’s recommended that you consider 6-10 lbs above your fresh water weight.

• Tides- Low 4:30 am; High 10:35 am
