Site details

Stolt Dagali is the stern section of a Norwegian tanker cut in two by SS Shalom in 1964. NJScuba describes the wreck starting around 60 ft with the main wreck in about 130 ft / 40 m, making it one of the deeper New Jersey wreck dives. The site is large, deteriorated, and best treated as a technical/deep wreck rather than a casual recreational dive.
