Reef materials include concrete rubble, prefabricated concrete units and a sunken barge in roughly 30-45 ft of water.

Kettle Cove
Maine · 1.5–7.6 m
A sheltered cove adjoining Crescent Beach State Park in Cape Elizabeth with free parking, toilets and a boardwalk to an easy sand-beach entry, making it a beginner favorite and frequent class site. Eelgrass beds give way to ledges and crevices, with the best route crossing into the next cove to the left; depths stay shallow (roughly 25 feet). As state land, park diving rules apply: carry your C-card, display the free permit, and no solo diving.
Shore entry
Keystone Jetty (Fort Casey Underwater Park)
Washington · 3–18.3 m
Washington's other underwater state park, along the rock jetty protecting Keystone Harbor at Fort Casey State Park on Whidbey Island, next to the Coupeville-Port Townsend ferry landing. The jetty boulders are plastered with anemones and nudibranchs and shelter wolf eels, octopus and big lingcod, with about 55-60 ft of depth at the jetty tip. Admiralty Inlet currents sweep the site hard, so it is strictly a slack-water dive planned with Admiralty Head current predictions, and divers must never round the jetty into the active ferry lane.

Kiawah Reef (4KI)
South Carolina · Up to 13.1 m

King's Beach Fishing Area
Rhode Island · 6.1–12.2 m
A quiet shore dive off Ocean Avenue in Newport, about a quarter mile from Brenton Point, entered down an old concrete boat ramp from a free dirt parking lot. Average depth is around 20 feet with areas to about 40 feet over eelgrass, kelp and rock, with abundant flounder, crabs and seasonal fish; current runs parallel to shore with the tide. A relaxed, uncrowded alternative to Fort Wetherill that is frequently used by classes on weekends.
Shore entry
Kismet Reef
New York · 4.9–7.6 m
Kismet Reef is a small 10-acre NYSDEC artificial reef in Great South Bay, just north of the South Beach between Kismet and the National Seashore dock, in 16-25 ft of water. Built from barges, concrete barriers, blocks, slabs, culvert and rubble, it is a sheltered, shallow bay reef good for newer divers. Visibility is limited and tide-dependent; black sea bass, tautog, scup and flounder use the structure.

A 125-foot wooden sidewheel steamer built in 1848-49 that sank in 1895 while under tow to be scuttled, settling upright in about 30 feet of water in Smith Cove (Glendale Cove), Gilford, in front of the NH Marine Patrol headquarters. The hull remains largely intact and is the most popular wreck dive in Lake Winnipesaukee, typically reached by a short boat run or kayak; small dive boats can tie directly to the wreck.
