Site details

An advanced Jamestown shore dive near the old DEM station west of Fort Wetherill, one of the only New England shore sites where divers can reach about 100 feet. Entry is a tricky climb down a rock hill to a rocky beach, then a short swim to depth along laid guidelines; colorful rock faces loaded with life give way to silt below about 80 feet. Strong currents make slack tide (or an incoming tide) essential.
