Monohansett Wreck (Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary)
Michigan · 3–5.5 m
The Monohansett was a wooden bulk freighter that caught fire and sank in the lee of Thunder Bay Island in November 1907 while sheltering from a Lake Huron storm. The wreckage lies broken into three large sections in only about 18 ft of clear water roughly 500 ft west of the Thunder Bay Island lighthouse, with the boiler reaching to within 10 ft of the surface and the propeller upright on the limestone bottom. Its shallow depth makes it popular with divers, snorkelers, paddlers and the local glass-bottom boat.

Tennie and Laura Wreck
Wisconsin · 95–99 m
The tiny scow schooner Tennie and Laura foundered in a sudden 1903 storm while hauling lumber from Muskegon to Milwaukee; the captain survived but his crewman drowned. Found during the 1998-2000 search for the fish tug Linda E, she sits intact in 325 feet of water nine miles southeast of Port Washington, a rare surviving example of the Great Lakes scow schooner type. Only highly experienced technical teams dive her — for everyone else she remains an archaeological time capsule.

Fort Wetherill State Park
Rhode Island · 3–27.4 m
Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown is Rhode Island's most popular shore dive and the traditional checkout-dive site for the region, with two sheltered rocky coves flanking a former coastal artillery fort on Narragansett Bay's East Passage. The Right Cove offers an easy boat-ramp entry to about 30 ft, the Left Cove reaches roughly 60 ft, and advanced divers can work out to the Bull Point wall approaching 100 ft. Rocky reef, kelp and abundant New England marine life make it a year-round training and night-dive favorite.

The Huntington/Oyster Bay Reef is a 50-acre NYSDEC artificial reef in Long Island Sound, about 1.16 nautical miles northeast of Lloyd Point, in 47-53 ft of water. Built from concrete buoy sinkers, it is a lower-relief Sound reef that attracts tautog, black sea bass and scup. Visibility is typically 10-20 ft and varies with tide, making it an intermediate boat dive.

The Blue Lagoon
Texas · 0–9.1 m
Two spring-fed limestone quarries abandoned in the early 1900s and now run as a dedicated scuba training facility about 70 miles north of Houston near Huntsville. The limestone gives the water a blue tint and visibility (often 25 ft or better) that is well above the Texas lake average. Only certified divers and enrolled students may enter; it is one of the busiest open-water checkout sites in southeast Texas.
