The New Jersey Council of Diving Clubs is now composed of 19 member clubs and some associate and individual members. 52 years ago the NJCDC was formed to promote a positive and safe image of diving and to represent the diving community through its various committees. At the moment, the council is very involved in legislation keeping access to the fishery for all divers in the area. We are also looking at Diver Access, Shipwreck Access, Beach sand pumping, and dumping of chemicals at the HARS ....... to mention just a few topics.
