About this site
The Cadet lies off the coast of New Jersey, in a stretch of the Atlantic known for its scattered shipwrecks accessible mostly by charter boat out of the state's shore towns. New Jersey's offshore waters hold many vessels lost to storms, collisions, and wartime action over the past two centuries, and wreck diving here typically involves cooler water and lower visibility than tropical sites.
