locating structure

[blackfin29]

i have been looking to find some lat and long numbers for local wrecks and rockpiles in the ny bight area no big secrets just stuff i have heard of or maybe have'nt does anybody know of a web sight that gives wreck and other structure coordinates in lat and long in the north east ?

Buy yourself a chart. Captain Seagull makes great ones for the NJ/NY area

there is a lot more stuff down there than is on the charts perhaps a dive web site?

Walk the docks and ask dragger captains for local snag #'s be up front and honest and they will usually point you in the right direction another would be wreckhunter.net

As Capt Squiddly says get charts and plan on spending a decent amount of time searching the area. Three charts for your area are: 1). Home Port Charts, 2). Capt Seagall Charts, and 3). Capt Vic Galagano Charts. I have found that the third choice is very good and he lists hundreds of wrecks on his charts in order Ex north to south. Go to the chart numbers drop a marker and start a grid search with a good quality sounder. Many wrecks are low profile so a sounder with the fish alarm activated will help allot. As far as a dive site for numbers no chance of that happening. Their are several dive books on the market that may help you. One that comes to mind is wreck diving by Capt Berg. If all else fails if you see me anchored record my location. Good luck and enjoy your search. After you start to find the structures you will keep them close to your heart because you will put in allot of time locating but it is worth it.
