Classroom Rock
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Classroom Rock offers some of New England's richest diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Classroom Rock is a shallow, sheltered site, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed shore entry. We’ve often seen lobster tucked into the rocky crevices, along with sculpins and various crabs. At six meters, it’s a good spot for buoyancy practice or testing new gear without strong currents or deep exposure. Expect typical New England temperate water diving, cool and calm.
