Welcome back!!! In this episode we discuss the New Jersey Upline. For those of you who do not know what this it is a way for a diver to establish a permanent ascent line back to the surface. Why you ask? Well diving in the Midatlantic and Northeast regions of the United States the boats anchor to the wrecks and a diver or dive team go down with a rope and secure the anchor to the wreck to prevent accidentally coming free. If a diver gets lost and cannot find their way back to the anchor they use the NJ upline to establish a permanent line to the surface and use it for ascent. Since the boat is secured to the dive site and/or might be diving in area with vessel traffic we cannot do drifting ascent/deco.
