Connecticut · Up to 15.2 m
A 528-acre natural lake in Salem/Bozrah/Montville famous for the house that fell through the ice in 1895 while being moved across the frozen lake, settling in deep water near the middle. Divers have long visited the collapsed structure, though by the 2000s it was reported mostly rotted away. The site is usually reached by boat from the state launch.
Alabama · Up to 30.8 m
The Gladys B is a 102-foot 1937 tugboat scuttled in April 2018 about 22 nautical miles south of Fort Morgan in roughly 100 feet of water, with the superstructure rising to about 62 feet below the surface. Donated by Steiner's Shipyard, it was deployed by the Alabama Marine Resources Division specifically to broaden the state's appeal as a diving destination. The intact superstructure offers structure and shelter that quickly attract reef fish in the otherwise flat, sandy Gulf bottom.
California · 12.8–21.9 m
Artificial reef built from Quarry Rock
New Jersey · 17.4–21 m
Artificial reef built from 95' Tugboat - "Marie" NJDEP deployment record: Ship, material: 95' Tugboat - "Marie", deployed 1989.
Texas · 16.8–40 m
A siltstone-claystone bank about 80 miles off the Texas coast, 30 miles inshore of West Flower Garden Bank, added to the national marine sanctuary in 1996. Uplifted siltstone pinnacles at roughly 55-90 ft create a 'moonscape' of ridges covered in sponges, fire coral and Madracis coral, and a wall on the north side drops sharply toward 180 ft. Normally dived from the same Freeport liveaboard trips that visit the Flower Garden Banks.
California · 6.1–27.4 m
A Carmel Bay shore dive at the south end of Carmel Beach, named for the distinctive copper-roofed home above the entry. A staircase leads to the beach, and divers enter on the far left (south) side near the rocks, working out to kelp-covered granite reefs and an outer reef in 20 to 90 feet of water. Easy on flat days but quickly becomes an intermediate-to-advanced site when swell wraps into the bay.
Washington · 3–18.3 m
A pair of adjacent shore dives off Beach Drive SW on the south side of Alki Point in West Seattle, distinct from the better-known Seacrest coves. The Junkyard is a debris field of old car bodies, machinery and scattered junk that now functions as artificial reef and octopus habitat, while the Pipeline follows an old outfall pipe over a gentle slope to about 40 ft. Entry is from street ends near Richey Viewpoint with a stair/ramp walk-in and a shallow swim-out.
Hawaii · Up to 26.8 m
Keawakapu Artificial Reef, Maui - Corner C is a dive site located in United States. Depths run to roughly 27 m. The site is reached by boat. Rated intermediate based on available data.
South Carolina · Up to 14.9 m
Artificial reef built from Approximate Center of Reef
California · 3–13.7 m
A small pocket beach on Cannery Row next to the El Torito restaurant, diving over historic cannery debris and a healthy kelp forest. Lengths of old pipe run from near shore out to about 40 feet and serve as navigation aids, and McAbee Pinnacle lies offshore. An easy, protected entry popular for relaxed kelp dives close to downtown Monterey.
