The America is a boat accessible fresh water dive site, located in NY. This dive site has an average rating of 3.73 out of 5 from 11 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 71-80ft/22-24m. The average visibility is 16-20ft/5-6m.

On June 20, 1932 this steel drill barge was sunk due to an explosion. The shoal side gives evidence to the American’s work with the blasted rock rubble along side. The usual path back is swimming upstream on the shoal side and accessing the guide rope back to the buoy area to access your boat. This site rests at a depth of 75 ft., upside down across the shipping channel from Jordstat Castle and Dark Island east of Mallorytown Landing. Normally a guide line is buoyed immediately east of Black Buoy # 167 on the downstream side of the shipping lane.

You moor up on eastern side of channel and drop down to the edge of the channel than follow a chain along the bottom into the channel in about 95 ffw to the site. The wreck is upside down in the channel and in the center of the wreck there is a large area of oil covered silt surrounding a large barrel (be careful not to cover your gear in the oil).
