Fort Adams State Park
Rhode Island · —
A shore dive inside Fort Adams State Park on the west side of Newport Harbor, entered from the shoreline off Lincoln Drive across the water from Fort Wetherill. The protected harbor-side bottom is sand, eelgrass and rock in modest depths, and the site is heavily used by training classes. Like most Narragansett Bay sites, it dives best timed to slack tide.

May Flower (shipwreck)
Minnesota · 24–27 m
The May Flower was a 147-foot wooden scow-schooner that capsized and sank on June 2, 1891 while carrying sandstone blocks, drowning two of her crew. Found in 1991, she lies in about 90 feet of water roughly four miles east of the Duluth harbor entry near the Lester River, with an intact bow and stern, two kedge anchors and Minnesota's only known manual ratcheted windlass of its type; the midsection is broken and sand-buried. It is a boat-only dive with typically modest visibility, best in autumn, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

Pactola Reservoir
South Dakota · 4.5–27 m
The largest and deepest reservoir in the Black Hills (about 800 acres, up to 150 ft deep), 15 miles west of Rapid City, flooded over the 1950s gold-rush-era town of Pactola. Divers explore remnants of the old town site, a dynamite bunker, railroad bed and CCC-camp structure, with roughly ten recognized dive spots from 15 to 90 ft; common entries are the swim beach at Pactola Point, the dam and the trail below the visitor center. Water is clear for the region (20-25 ft visibility) with a sharp thermocline around 40 ft, and this is a high-altitude dive at roughly 4,600 ft elevation.

Woahink Lake Dive Park
Oregon · 4.6–15 m
A shallow freshwater lake south of Florence on the east side of Highway 101, with a state-designated dive park at the old west boat ramp. Dive shops regularly run Open Water training here, and the bottom is dotted with purpose-sunk oddities including a submarine, several boats, a sunken kayak, a life-size shark sculpture, logs and other curiosities. Divers can wade out and descend to about 15-20 feet, with a thermocline and colder water below 40 feet. A reliable backup or 'rinse' dive when ocean visibility is poor.

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.

Carmel River Beach
California · 6.1–18.3 m
A long, gently sloped beach at Carmel River State Beach, far more forgiving than neighboring Monastery Beach. The bottom drops in rocky steps from 20 to 30 to 40 feet and then slopes past 60 feet, beneath one of the healthiest kelp beds in Carmel Bay — often too thick to surface-swim through in summer and fall. Enter and exit at the very north end near the Scenic Road stairs.
