DWS in the Atlantic Ocean?

Has anyone ever done any DWS in the Atlantic? I'm curious DWS can only happen in lakes or rivers in the US. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

I think you could do some at Acadia,, but rather dangerous. Quoddy head would do as well, but you might die

I'm going to keep it vague and say that there are plenty of DWS places all up and down New England. Ask some locals. Many of them are pretty dangerous. I did one at Nahant that if I landed 3 or 4 feet right or left the water wouldn't of been deep enough...and that was during high tide.

I met a guy who's done quite a bit of DWS in Scotland.

My wife and I did some DWS'ing in Bermuda (Clarence Cove) a few summers ago: vimeo.com/34733988

Stupid question for you guys.... why wear a chalk bag? Isn't it done as soon as you hit the water the first time?

People must bring a lot of chalk bags, because they would be soaked after one drop in the water.

There was a ledge you could stand on at the bottom of the DWS area in Bermuda. We just tossed down a chalk bag in a sealed plastic bag and left it there while we climbed. I would also put a towel in the bag if we were to go again; drying hands/shoes between each climb would help keep the holds dry.
