Capt. Dan Berg and the Wreck Valley crew invite you to join them as they explore, film and search for artifacts on the shipwrecks off Long Island NY's South Shore. This area, which is often called Wreck Valley, offers some of the finest wreck diving in the world. Divers can explore rum-runners, wooden schooners, paddle wheel steamships and much more. Capt. Dan
was the host of the Dive Wreck Valley TV series and the author of over ten shipwreck and diving related books. Now for the first time you can
join
Dan aboard his new 40 foot, 6 pack charter boat
R/V Wreck Valley. Visit Wrecks like the Black Warrior,
Tarantula, RC Mohawk, Lizzie D, and more. Depths range from 30' to
165'. Special shipwreck excavation, dredging and side scan sonar expeditions are also available.

Boat
The R/V Wreck Valley is a custom built 40' Young Brothers. She has over 16' of
deck space, a 9' cabin , enclosed head, heat, and 3 bunks. The Wreck Valley is
powered by a single 6-71 TI Detroit Diesel and cruises at 20 knots! Her speed
and excellent sea keeping abilities make her one of the most comfortable 6-pack
vessels in the area. Running out of Jones Inlet on Long Island, NY's south shore
we can choose hundreds of shipwreck destinations.
(for the history of these wrecks please refer to Capt. Dan's book Wreck
Valley vol II)
