ABOUT OUR BOAT CHARTER
Our History
Having grown up vacationing and diving at the Jersey Shore, Chris always wanted to have a boat to continue exploring the shipwrecks off the coast. Becoming a professional scuba diver right out of high school, he kept an eye on someday having that boat. Today, after 30 years diving up and down the East Coast and around the world, Chris and his team operate The Persistence out of Ocean City, NJ. We also operate a full time year-round dive center, Blue Crew Divers, out of Frazer, PA. Blue Crew is a hightly decorated, PADI 5 Star Career Development Center training everyone from brand new divers to future world-wide instructors. Give us a shout and join us for some diving, sunset cruises, or a little fishing next time you are in town.
