Maine's signature shore dive at Sohier Park in York, beneath the famous Cape Neddick 'Nubble' Lighthouse. Divers enter from sloping granite ledges into a kelp-covered shallow ledge that drops along a steep wall to about 40-50 feet, with boulders, nooks and dense invertebrate life throughout. The entry/exit over the ledge is the crux and is far easier near high tide; the site draws check-out classes from all over New England.
