Trainman - 7/29/2013 6:19 AM I went scuba diving here on 7/28/2013. Average viz: 11-15ft/3-5m. Water temp: 66-70°F/19-21°C. Supposed to dive the polling. Boat broke... Luckily the steering collumn froze up at the dock, which prompted a closer look. Then we noticed a crack in hull. Very happy to not have to swim back to shore.

bostontechdiver - 7/06/2012 8:39 AM Rating Added: 4 I went scuba diving here on 7/5/2012. Average viz: 5-10ft/2-3m. Water temp: 56-60°F/13-16°C. Lobsters abound! Crabs, starfish, too many fish to count, plus the veryday flounder... Full moon and flat seas. All made for a pleasant night dive.
