Map of Ocean Wave Wreck

Ocean Wave Wreck

Wisconsin · 30–34 m

The Ocean Wave was an 1860-built scow schooner with a rare eagle figurehead that sank in 20 minutes after striking floating timber in 1869, loaded with quarried stone. She sits upright in 110 feet of water two miles off Whitefish Point, Door County, her lower hull embedded in sand that alternately covers and uncovers hull structure, rigging and cargo. Bow and stern ramps and the stern cabin area remain well preserved, making this a rewarding advanced boat dive.

Map of Octopus Hole

Octopus Hole

Washington · 6.1–18.3 m

A WDFW conservation area on Hood Canal right off Highway 101, just over three miles north of Hoodsport and a short drive from Sund Rock. A roughly 200-yard-long rock wall starts around 40 ft and drops to 50-60 ft depending on tide, riddled with cracks and dens that house giant Pacific octopus and wolf eels. Currents are mild, making it a relaxed wall dive, but no hunting or gathering of any kind is permitted.

Map of Old Garden Beach

Old Garden Beach

Massachusetts · 3–15.2 m

Old Garden Beach is one of Cape Ann's classic, most-dived shore sites, a small Rockport neighborhood beach with a ramp down to the water and an easy sand entry. A 100+ yard swim out leads to kelp-covered boulder fields in 20-40 ft, with several distinct dives possible depending on heading and a max depth around 40-50 ft. It is a prime open-water training site and can be very crowded on summer weekends.

Old Kona Airport (Pawai Bay side)

Hawaii · 9.1–21.3 m

A convenient shore dive at the old runway beach park just north of downtown Kailua-Kona. A short swim over a lava ridge at ~30 ft leads to coral structure, arches and small caverns sloping to sand around 70-100 ft. A favorite local site for quick tank dives and night dives when seas are flat.

Map of Old Ponquogue Bridge Marine Park

Old Ponquogue Bridge Marine Park

New York · 6–12 m

A popular shore dive on Shinnecock Bay in Hampton Bays, just east of the old Ponquogue Bridge span. The bridge pilings and rubble form an artificial reef teeming with marine life, and the proximity to the Shinnecock Inlet brings in clear ocean water and seasonal tropical strays carried north on the Gulf Stream. Considered one of the best shore dives on Long Island.

Map of Oregon (Cunard liner wreck)

Oregon (Cunard liner wreck)

New York · 25.9–38.1 m

The wreck of the Cunard liner Oregon, a 518-foot transatlantic steamship that sank on 14 March 1886 after a collision off Long Island (all aboard were rescued). The wreck lies roughly 18 miles south of Long Island in about 125 feet of water, rising to around 85 feet at its highest point. Notable features include nine boilers, the large compound engine and the stern steering quadrant. A classic deep boat dive of Wreck Valley.
