I sadly forward this message, as I and many have dove w/ George through 
the years.

George was the dean of NJ wreck diving, were many of us fledglings 
learned 'NJ wreck diving'.  Diving on the Sea Lion (old & new) was 
tantamout to the best in diving.

RIP

We've just been informed that George Hoffman, longtime
New Jersey wreck diver and Captain of the dive boat
Sea Lion, passed away yesterday (January 14).  Services
are planned; I'll post more info when it's available.

There's an article on our web site, written about a year ago
by Dan Berg, which I think makes a nice tribute to all that
"Gentleman George" accomplished in his 40 years of diving.  For
anyone interested: http://www.njscuba.com/General/Hoffman/index.html

Captain Hoffman's death is a great loss to the NJ wreck diving
community, and he will be missed.
